The Story
Still organic red wine from Tuscany, 14% ABV, produced by Salcheto. 2017 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A Nobile di Montepulciano that embodies elegance and sustainability, with a maturation that enhances its complexity. Salco in ancient Tuscan means willow, a tree historically important in wine-growing areas because its branches (the "vinco") were used to tie the vines. Fragrant aromas of violet flowers, dark spices, and red fruit mingle with hints of fresh leather and tobacco. Overall, it is elegant and mellow, releasing aromas of ripe morello cherry, licorice root, and hints of dried herbs accompanied by velvety, rounded tannins. The precisely balanced palate captivates with inviting freshness and sweet tannins. The finish is long.
