Salvioni made a relatively firm, tannic, structured 1986 Brunello di Montalcino that is already revealing some attractive spicy, fruitcake aromas intertwined with scents of damp earth and leather. In the mouth, there is medium to full body, moderate tannins, and a long finish. My first look at this producer's wines left a favorable impression. Importer: Vias Imports, Ltd., Great Neck, NY.

This smooth, elegant wine is rich and opulent, with a velvety texture and complex black cherry, raspberry, truffle, spice and vanilla aromas and flavors that keep echoing on the long finish. Has the balance, harmony and stuffing to develop into a great wine. Cellar until 1998 or 2000. 400 cases made.??–null??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
