SALCHETO Tuscany
This estate in the heart of Montepulciano is dedicated to Sangiovese in the clonal guise of Prugnolo Gentile that is the soul of Vino Nobile. Prunolo Gentile differs from other Sangiovese clones in Tuscany in that it offers softer, more plum like flavours than the usual black cherry; midway between the robustness of Brunello and the elegance of Chianti. Salcheto is named after the (real) Salcheto stream that runs through the hilly 21 hectare property where the highest slopes top 650 meters. The Vino Nobiles is 100% Prugnolo Gentile.
