Salcheto

Chianti "Biskero" from Salcheto is a juicy, open and cheerful drop. Black cherries and plums blend with sweet spices and dark, earthy notes. SUPERIORE.DE

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

Golden yellow honey with a fine floral scent. Its creamy consistency makes it the ideal bread spread, which is also suitable for sweetening pastries and drinks. Eight colonies of the gold bee (Mellifera Ligustica) perform their useful service around the vineyards of Salcheto, Poggio Piglia and La Bandita and provide us with this delicious delicacy in the finest organic quality. 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 delights us with its fragrant aroma of prunes and a hint of cinnamon and cloves. On the palate it has a lot of fruit, fine, sweet melting in the long finish. An authentic and pleasantly elegant organic wine from the heart of the Montepulciano region. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a delicately brightening rim. In the nose not quite clearly defined, some geranium, raspberry, then again spicy and varnished tones. On the palate juicy with crisp acidity, spreads widely, full of tension, good pressure in the finish." Falstaff

"Red-berry, rose and crushed herb aromas mingle with scents of dark spice and a whiff of leather on this elegant, understated red. Vibrant and linear, the medium-bodied palate shows energy and finesse, delivering raspberry, strawberry compote and star anise set against bright acidity. It closes on mineral note evoking rusty iron while taut, fine-grained tannins provide a polished framework." Wine Enthusiast

"A rich, round red, sporting cherry, plum, earth and mineral flavors, backed by a vibrant structure. The tannins are assertive, yet folded into the overall body and texture. Shows fine length and harmony." Wine Spectator

"Salcheto was acquired by the Lavinia wine group in 2003, however it's still managed by Michele Manelli, who was one of the previous owners. He has been instrumental in establishing this winery as a model for sustainability and biodiversity. The wines are made without added sulphites and this is as clean as a whistle. It seduces with earthy nuances and fresh-cut flowers. Tangy cherry, red currants and blood orange peel skip across the palate, driven by brisk acidity and accompanied by fine, grainy tannins which provide a secure grip." Decanter

This garnet-red sparkling Vino Nobile delights us with its fragrant aroma of prunes and a hint of cinnamon and cloves. On the palate it has a lot of fruit, fine, sweet melting in the long finish.

"Salcheto checks a lot of boxes. The winery is powered by renewable energy, water waste is 100% recycled, there are no added sulphites during vinification and the entire production is certified organic and packaged in light weight bottles. Above all, the Nobile tastes delicious. It is clean and immediately appealing offering complex cedar, earth, tea and balsamic nuances atop forest fruit. Full-bodied and full of character, it is rich yet fresh and seductively textured with polished tannins. A great success for this challenging vintage." Decanter

Fine Nobile Riserva with spicy notes of clove and cinnamon on a clear fruit base of wild berries. On the palate it is soft, full-bodied and with delicate tannins, it finishes long and dynamic. SUPERIORE.DE

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
