Brunello di Montalcino・Salvioni・2017

The winter was mild and there was little rainfall, resulting in bud break about 10 days earlier than normal, but a late frost arrived in mid-April, causing damage to grape growers throughout Italy. However, because the Montalcino region is at a high altitude and has active air circulation, Salvioni was not affected. The summer was extremely hot and there was little rainfall, so there were concerns that the grapes would be stressed, but the temperature difference between day and night allowed the grapes to grow healthily. In addition, there was blessed rain from the end of August to the beginning of September, and the harvest was in good condition. The wine has a high concentration and a rich sweetness of ripe fruit. It is a style that can be enjoyed relatively soon after uncorking, but Salvioni's unique "deep flavor" is still alive and well.
