Podere Salicutti is a 10-acre estate in Montalcino, Italy. Its owner Francesco Leanza is from Sicily and was a chemistry professor in Rome before starting Podere Salicutti in the 1990s. The vineyard was planted in 1994 and Leanza moved to the estate in 1997 and began making wine organically. The estate was the first in the area to make wines organically, and it is today known for its well-structured Brunellos. Wine Spectator has rated some vintages with scores in the high 90s.
