The pinnacle of Salcheto's stunning red wine range, the single-vineyard Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 'Salco' is a brick red colour and shows delicious dried and ripe dark cherry fruits on the nose, with a touch of prune and sweet herbal core. There is definitive complexity with savoury aromas of earth, cedar, spices and a warming meatiness and leather. The palate mirrors this but shows great balance with the fruit, and the prunes and warm earth are particularly prominent. The ripe tannins provide great structure, but are softly textured and are in perfect balance with the bright acidity. The finish is lovely and long and leaves you gasping for another sip... Read More

The Prugnolo Gentile grapes for the Salco are grown on the most mature plots in the vineyards of the estate: 'Salco' (2 ha/5 acres) and 'Laghetto' (3,5 ha/8 acres). This clone of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile ripens easily and allows for beautifully intense aromas and flavours. It is aged in oak for 24 months (30% in large casks and 70% in tonneaux which are slightly smaller) and refined in bottle for up to 4 years before release.
The Salcheto winery covers 21 hectares of hilly Tuscan land and it surrounds the Salcheto stream that runs through the heart of Tuscany’s Montepulciano town. The first estate in Italy to be fully self-sustainable, Salcheto reflects the epitome of environmental efficiency – and, unsurprisingly, its wines embody a similar ethos of innovation and natural process. Thirty years on from its founding, and almost twenty-five since its takeover by Michele Manelli in 1997, the Salcheto winery can today be considered an eco-pioneer in the wine world. Alongside its primary goal to create terroir-focused, Sangiovese-oriented wines focused on drinkability and aromatic clarity, Salcheto is absolutely committed to utilising a cellar that is considered an exemplary model of sustainable technological innovation, while incorporating the lightest and most ecological bottling solution and boxing on the market, all to keep their carbon footprint as low as possible.
