Wine Spectator Review
Rated 91
Rich and round, exhibiting plum, black cherry, wild rosemary, thyme and mineral flavors. Mellowing, yet still flexes some tannic clout on the finish. Drink now through 2032.
Wine Tasting Notes
The pinnacle of Salcheto's stunning red wine range, the single-vineyard Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 'Salco' is a brick red color and shows delicious dried and ripe dark cherry fruits on the nose, with a touch of prune and sweet herbal core. There is definitive complexity with savoury aromas of earth, cedar, spices and a warming meatiness and leather. The palate mirrors this but shows great balance with the fruit, and the prunes and warm earth are particularly prominent. The ripe tannins provide great structure, but are softly textured and are in perfect balance with the bright acidity. The finish is lovely and long and leaves you gasping for another sip.
