Description

Podere Salicutti was founded by Francesco Leanza, and then transitioned with the utmost care to Felix and Sabine Eichbauer who carry on the tradition of winemaking with humility, maturity, and conviction. As the first organically certified estate in Montalcino with vines dating back to 1994, Salicutti prides itself on wines that showcase the uninhibited brilliance of its terroir.
In the Tuscany region of Italy, the 11-hectare property includes 4.5 hectares of vines sitting at 420-500 meters in elevation with Sangiovese that grow on three adjoining plots — Teatro, Sorgente, and Piaggione. With manual tending of the vines and calcareous soil during the spring months followed by a meticulous harvest, each cluster is hand-picked at its ideal ripeness. A focus on fostering typicity and the fullest expression of Podere Salicutti’s strengths results in uniquely beautiful and complex wines that never fail to delight.
