2022 Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022 is a structured, elegant Tuscan Sangiovese with red plum, violet, forest floor, and tobacco notes, earning strong critic scores (92 pts from James Suckling).

Salcheto’s Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022 is a standout expression of Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) from Tuscany. It combines organic farming, classic Tuscan character, and a vintage shaped by heat and drought, yet balanced by ideal late‑season conditions.

• Aromas: red plums, crushed violets, forest floor, tobacco

• Palate: medium‑ to full‑bodied, vivid acidity, firm but integrated tannins, clarity and tension on the finish

• Additional complexity: smoke, incense, scorched earth, iron, black fruit (from Vivino user data)

• Structure: medium‑ to full‑bodied, structured, earthy, red‑fruit drivenpolished tannins, fresh yet rich texture, long finish. 

This wine sits stylistically between Chianti Classico’s finesse and Brunello’s power, making it a great choice if you enjoy refined Tuscan reds.

Given your love of charcuterie and cheese pairings, this wine is a natural fit. Its acidity and earthy depth pair beautifully with: Tuscan-style charcuterie (finocchiona, prosciutto), Aged cheeses (Pecorino Toscano, Parmigiano), Beef, game, or roasted poultry.

The 2022 vintage is drinkable now but can age 8–10 years, thanks to its structure and acidity.
