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.

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

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

"Fragrant purple-flower, dark spice and black-skinned-berry aromas mix with new leather and pipe tobacco. It's both elegant and enveloping, delivering ripe Marasca cherry, cranberry, licorice and hints of dried herb alongside taut, velvety tannins. It closes on a note of coffee bean. Drink through 2027."

"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

Just 3,500 bottles from the yield of the oldest vines of the Salco vineyard are sold with beautiful labels in a fancy 3-bottle carton. In the glass, we are delighted with an extremely elegant Sangiovese with a very harmonious texture and very classic, earthy and spicy notes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark bright, elegant and deep ruby red. In the nose first spicy-fleshy, opens on noble rosemary notes, dried tomato, then beautiful cherry. On the palate it is powerful and with tightly woven tannin, full of tension, in the rear area salty-mineral, great length. Falstaff

"From Salcheto's 2-hectare Salco vineyard, the Vecchie Viti is a selection of the oldest vines, which are upwards of 30 years old. After ageing in a combination of large cask and small tonneaux, this spends an additional 2 years in bottle before release. Yet it is still very nascent in expression. Smoke and mint emerge slowly weaving through wild berries. There is an irony undertow on the palate which is dense, ripe, concentrated and securely fastened by firm tannins. This is sinewy in its muscle and above all sophisticated." Decanter

"New leather, forest-berry and rose aromas shape the enticing nose on this radiant red along with a balsamic whiff of camphor. The firm, elegantly structured palate features ripe Marasca cherry, black raspberry, licorice and crushed mint framed in tightly wound, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. It's linear and still youthfully austere, with great aging potential. Drink 2023–2036." Wine Enthusiast
