Vinification
Only 9000 bottles of this wine were bottled. 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. The wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels, of which 30% Italian 'blunt' (large, Slavonian oak) and 70% 'tonneaux' (smaller, 900L, French oak). It then matures in bottle for 36 months before being commercialized.

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.
