Tasting note
Full aromatic red wine with a refined aroma of herbal fruit and a bit of oak. Beautiful wine with game dishes rich pasta dishes or an authentic bistecca fiorentina.
Description
Michele Manelli and his two partners brought the Azienda Salcheto to the top of the provenance. He makes vino nobile as it should be, in our opinion, namely with the elegant and fresh expression of the prugnolo grape without the dominance of oak.
The prugnolo gentile is the local variety of the famous Tuscan sangiovese and the specialty of the village of Montepulciano. The vineyards of the azienda - a total of twenty hectares - are fully biologically cultivated and are among the highest grape plantations in the area. The yield is low (only one bottle per vine) and the yield is therefore of high quality.
The mild extraction of tannins and dyes during fermentation and aging on refined oak do justice to the top quality of the grapes. Result: a wine with elegance fine tannin and complex and beautiful aromas; a great wine that received the highest rating in the wine guide Gambero Rosso with only two other producers. Tuscany at top level!
