PODERE SALICUTTI UNDER SABINE EICHBAUER: AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES SUCKLING

James talks with Sabine Eichbauer, the owner of Poderi Salicutti in Montalcino, Italy, along with Gianni Fabbri, Salicutti's winermaker, about how they got started in the business and the arc of their operations."We wanted to invest in wine, not necessarily a winery ... but then we kind of fell in love, funny enough, with an Australian [winery] near Melbourne," she said. After failing in their attempt to buy that winery, they soon set their sights on purchasing Salicutti, even though "it was never really on the market," but they soon came away with the property.Since that time, they have been working to elevate the quality of the Brunello they make, and are also experimenting with grapes on an extra hectare of property they purchased.
