Description
The Vecchie Viti del Salco Nobile di Montepulciano BIO DOCG 2016 from the Salcheto winery is a wine originating from the Salco vineyard, the most mature and important of the estate. A 2ha field, with vines aged 29-31 years, entirely cultivated with a company clone of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile that easily reaches a slight overripeness at each harvest. After 2 years in wood, it ages up to 2 years in the bottle before being marketed. This wine, a product of the historic experience of the Salco vineyard, is dedicated to the Alliance Vinum project, the union of six Montepulciano producers aimed at the growth of individuals and the entire territory. The 2016 vintage, which has proven to be of remarkable depth over the years, comes from a season that could be described as "old school." A generally regular climatic trend, slightly late ripenings, and a season end with some rain. The result is a Sangiovese with a more elegant texture than ever, enhancing its earthier and spicier tones.
