From the most mature plots in the vineyards of the company, the “Salco” (2 ha/5 acres) and the “Laghetto” (3,5 ha/8 acres), Salco is produced
thanks to a clone of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile that at each vintage reaches with ease a slight over ripeness. After maturing 2 years in
wood, it is refined up to 4 years in our cellar.
2015 is undoubtedly one of the most impressive vintage of its decade. It was marked by a strong thermal stress in August, which has particularly influenced acidity levels. The
result is a wine “eat and drink all in one”, fleshy and soft, to be enjoyed perhaps in a shorter time horizon.
Salco has been vinified with indigenous yeasts only and without adding sulphites, showing balance and elegance also thanks to Salcheto pedoclimatic, with soils rich of clay and
significant temperature ranges.
