Tasting notes
Salvioni's 2005 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass with layers of mineral-infused red fruit, roses, menthol, tar and licorice on a soft, textured frame. Deceptively medium in body, the wine boasts superb integrity in its fruit and exceptional overall balance. This is a relatively accessible vintage that should be approachable fairly early. I loved the wine for its sense of harmony and poise, both of which are brilliant. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022. ||Giulio Salvioni crafts some of the most beautiful, artisan wines readers will come across in Montalcino. Everything, including labeling, is entirely done by hand at this tiny property. Wine Advocate.April, 2010

About the producer
The foremost wine is Brunello di Montalcino, which over the years has earned widespread acclaim in Italy and abroad. Produced in famously tiny quantities, demand consistently far exceeds supply, meaning bottles tend to vanish from the market almost as soon as they appear.
