Salcheto

Intense, immediate Rosso di Montepulciano with aromas of cherries, blackberries and spices. Juicy and expressive on the palate, the tannins well integrated. SUPERIORE.DE

A high quality Rosso di Montepulciano, whose grapes come from biodynamically cultivated Vino-Nobile vineyards. Obvius was vinified in stainless steel tanks without the addition of sulphites. SUPERIORE.DE

This garnet-red sparkling Vino Nobile inspires us with its fragrance of prunes and a hint of cinnamon and cloves. On the palate a lot of present fruit, fine, sweet melt in the long finish. An authentic and pleasantly elegant organic wine from the heart of the Montepulciano area. SUPERIORE.DE

"Just mid ruby with orange tinges. There is always something candied, gingerbread-like about Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and this is no exception. Not super-expressive on the nose. Deep cherry palate but with an almost light-bodied feel to it, with tangy acidity turning up on the finish. Firm, but polished tannins. Very distinct style of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano – one with a real future." Jancis Robinson

"The price difference between this 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the Vecchie Viti del Salco is noteworthy. This more affordable option delivers ripe fruit, dark cherry and blackcurrant folded within spice and delicate hints of campfire ash. It is a pure expression of Sangiovese, otherwise known locally as Prungnolo Gentile. You'll catch a lot of plummy, ripe fruit flavors on the finish." Robert Parker

"Made with organically cultivated Sangiovese, this fragrant elegant red opens with enticing scents of underbrush, sunbaked earth, wild berry, violet, crushed mint and a balsamic whiff of camphor. Smooth and savory, the linear palate has surprising vibrancy for such a hot vintage, delivering juicy Marasca cherry, strawberry compote, star anise and white pepper. Elegant fine-grained tannins lend polished support while a coffee note lingers on the close." Wine Enthusiast

A racy and seductive Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Very intense bouquet of fruit, tobacco, herbs and toasted notes. On the palate voluminous and harmonious round, silky-sweet tannins and excellent length. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2012 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Salco shows great textural richness spread over a style that is both meaty and concentrated (when compared to its peers on the Sangiovese scale). The bouquet is broad, far reaching and complete. It offers a pretty sense of moderate opulence with dark fruit flavors, spice and leather. Campfire ash and smoke play minor, but interesting roles. The finish is slightly gritty in texture." Robert Parker

"The 2012 Salco, 100% Prugnolo Gentile from the estate's oldest vines, is another wine that exudes depth. Dark red cherry, plum, scorched earth, licorice and dark spices infuse this intense, strapping Vino Nobile. Some rough edges remain, but there is certainly no shortage of either intensity or personality." Antonio Galloni
