92 Points James Suckling
A pretty full-bodied Vino Nobile with dried strawberries, plums, hazelnuts and some blood oranges on the nose. The fruit is juicy but the mouthfeel is round and supple. Tannins are supportive and fine. Drink or hold.
92 Points Wine Spectator
A lively, well-defined red, featuring cherry, raspberry, eucalyptus, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors. Linear and intense, this evolves to the long, savory finish. Best from 2026 through 2038. 12,500 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
92 Points Decanter
With a picture-perfect view of the town of Montepulciano to the north, Salcheto’s 18 hectares of Vino Nobile surround the winery. The self-sufficient facility is a model of genuine green initiatives, and the wines sit at the top echelon of the denomination. The 2019 captures the warmth of the vintage, with sun-warmed raspberry and cherry, heady violets and yellow broom. Fresh and succulent, it is loaded with concentrated, joyful fruit while smooth, suede-like tannins hem it all in effortlessly. Deceptively simple sounding but in reality quite sophisticated.
