Vinification
As for the grape, one speaks of Prugnolo Gentile, a clone of Sangiovese which is smaller and with its lower yield produces wines with more finesse and quality. Yield is one bottle per plant, fermentation takes place in wooden barrels. The wine also ages in wood, for 18 months: 70% blunt (large, Slavonian oak) and 30% tonneau (smaller, 900L, French oak). The wine is then aged in bottle for 6 months.

About Salcheto
Salcheto is located in Montepulciano, Tuscany. They have been around for over thirty years and have always approached the protagonist in Tuscan wine, the Sangiovese grape, with great respect.
It is a 50 ha domain, which was the first to make its own carbon and water footprint public.
Natural yeasts and no sulphites are used to make wine.
The unique bottle, la Bordolese Toscanella, which is lighter than a normal bottle, has also been specially developed to limit the impact on the environment.
