Salcheto | Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG | BIO
Red wine | Italy, TUSCANY | 2019
The color of the wine is deep ruby red. We notice ripe red fruit, especially cherries, but also spices and aromas from ripening: leather, tobacco and forest soil. In the mouth the wine is very round, with the aforementioned layers in the taste, a slightly fleshy mouthfeel and a refreshing final with ripe fruit.

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.
