Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a bold and expressive wine shaped by the dramatic forces of nature, from unexpected frosts to intense droughts. These challenging conditions have given rise to a wine that is both robust and deeply intense, delivering a powerful yet beautifully balanced experience. With its rich structure and complexity, this Tuscan gem pairs perfectly with hearty dishes like braised short ribs, wild mushroom risotto, or aged pecorino cheese. Each sip tells a story of resilience and craftsmanship, making it a must-try for lovers of bold, character-driven wines.

Salcheto is the name of a stream that runs through the property where willows once grew in abundance. They have just begun to replant willow trees on the estate in areas not suitable for viticulture. Eventually Salcheto will use the wood for heating, with the goal of creating a sustainable green system at the winery that is 100-percent energy independent. Even the measure of their carbon footprint per bottle of wine is a true trailblazer for the industry, including not only the work in the vineyard and winery, but also the emissions from obtaining raw materials (glass in particular) and transportation to the final consumer.

At Salcheto, the path to reduce emissions travels hand in hand with quality production of the wines. Salcheto is full energy independence, the first “Off Grid” winery, in the sense of being completely disconnected from traditional power-distribution networks. This result has been achieved by combining, in an integrated way, water recycling and independence, energy savings, and renewable energy sources present in the countryside, not only Solar Photovoltaic but also geothermal and biomasses systems.

Focused and nicely structured, with aromas of red plums, forest floor, crushed violets and tobacco that carry into a medium- to full-bodied palate. The tannins are firm but integrated, holding a vivid line of acidity that gives the finish clarity and tension. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
