The estate takes its name from the willows — salici — that once lined the property, and that sense of rootedness in place defines everything Leanza does. With just a few hectares under vine, Salicutti produces Brunello in quantities so small that allocations are fiercely sought after by collectors and sommelier\u003cimg\u003es who have discovered them. The wines are made without compromise: certified biodynamic farming, native yeasts, large Slavonian oak casks, and no concessions to modern palate trends — just Sangiovese expressed with uncommon purity and patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Piaggione' is Salicutti's single-vineyard selection, drawn from the oldest vines on the estate and aged longer before release — a wine made for decades, not years. The name refers to the gently sloping terrain of the parcel, and the wine carries that topography in its structure: layered, precise, and built with the kind of quiet authority that only old vines and a patient hand can produce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45203776831511,"sku":null,"price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Salicutti_Piaggione_2021.jpg?v=1781286475","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/salicutti-piaggione-brunello-di-montalcino-docg-2021","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
