2016 Salcheto Salco

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese more

4/19/2024 - isbjoern wrote: flawed

Corked. And a surprisingly bad cork quality. I appreciate the FSC label on the cork and all the efforts of Salcheto to promote sustainable winemaking, but if bad cork quality ruins the wine and it ultimately goes down the sink, the whole idea of sustainable winemaking is somewhat jeopardized.

Fleshy black cherries, chalk, oak spice, and a plummy, coffee-like finish. Chewy tannins, fresh acidity. Very nice value for $21.

Светлый рубиново-гранатовый цвет, прозрачное. В аромате чёрные ягоды, кожа, табак, дерево, сливки, животинка, чуть хвоя, специи, кофе, железо. Во вкусе плотное, в меру интенсивные округлые танины, средняя кислотность. 90/100

Beautiful. Nose was saturated plums and prunes and drippy. Palate was not! Light dark fruits, nice depth, smooth tannins

2019 Salcheto Fiasco Vino da Tavola

Sangiovese more

3/5/2024 - finlero Likes this wine: 93 points

This is the boxed wine I've been searching for.

Straight ahead, old world, no fuss Sangiovese. Clocks in just under $60/box = $15/bottle. "Fiasco" is the bottle and straw basket Chianti sometimes arrives in.

Easily good enough for a weeknight glass or two, or excellent (if slightly over-specced) for cooking.

Organic, biodynamic grapes and an eco-conscious house.

Very, very impressed, will try to get more.

Excellent. Red cherry or red plum. Chocolate and tobacco. Full bodied and still tannic. Great length. Probably should’ve decanted this.

화려함. 붉은과일, 보라색과실, 허브, 붉은꽃
뽕따후 첫번째 인상이 좋았고
1시간동안 입에서는 좋지 않았으나 점점 함과 맛이 일치하게 올라옴.
그냥 마실때보다 음식과 함께 하는게 좋았다.

또다른 바틀을 사는건 고민됨. 국밥느낌보다 한번씩 마시면 좋은 느낌

1/12/2024 - Dan Hausrath Likes this wine: 88 points

Medium ruby-garnet color in the glass with smoky nose of red cherry, dark plum, and leather. Bright acidity, full body, and fairly intense drying tannins that turn dusty. Richly concentrated flavors of salty plum, strawberry, and a little oregano with black cherry coming out on the finish. Young but balanced and pretty tasty, if a little too smoky on the nose. Could also stand to have just a little less residual sugar. Surprisingly long for the price!

Black cherries, blueberries, juniper berries, pine beedles, black licorice and a hint of plastic/reductivity on the nose. Medium intensity of aromas. The palate adds bitter herbs (like in Amaro), allspice and cocoa powder. In fact, the whole thing feels texturally powdery. No evidence of oak at all on this. Medium + intensity of flavors. Finishes with a burst of ripe strawberries.

Medium body with medium + acid and supple, medium + tannins that last longer on the palate than the medium finish. Overall this is fresh and bright with some depth too. It's very much a wine of place, with some complexity that isn't always found in Chianti DOCG. Great QPR as well at $15. Great pairing with spaghetti and meatballs.

Tight on the nose with some leather, tar/asphalt, and herbal cherry. Palate is silkier than expected, but kind of a quiet wine. Everything is technically correct, but doesn’t have much charm or Sangiovese character.

Full bodied, balanced acidity, we really enjoyed it. Was still holding up - could probably have aged a couple more years without any problems.

Day 1: Served with pizza. Disappointing. Closed, dark fruit, tobacco and lots of wood. Not very open or expressive.
Day 3. Served with meat sause & pasta. Much better, open and expressive. More red fruit, longer finish and more interesting.

IMO this calls for 3-5 years more cellar time if you want to realize the potential.

12/3/2023 - penguinoid Likes this wine: NR

Colour: medium(+) garnet
Nose: medium intensity, secondary, youthful. Red and black plum, redcurrant, strawberry, bramble. Violets. Beetroot. Warm earth. Tobacco, cigar box, cedar, cocoa, cinnamon.
Palate: dry, medium tannins, medium acidity, medium alcohol (14%), medium bodied. Medium intensity, medium length finish. Red and black plum, redcurrant, strawberry, bramble. Violets. Beetroot. Warm earth. Tobacco, cigar box, cedar, cocoa, cinnamon.
Conclusions: very good. Can drink now, but suited to further ageing. Pop&Pour P&P (not decanted), bought retail recently. Produced using the “Governo Toscano” method, also typical of Chianti, where dried grapes are added to the wine after the primary fermentation is finished to produce a slow second fermentation -- similar to Recioto della Valpolicella.
Seal: natural cork

Nice nose, good forward fruit. Moves to a light mid palate and rather short finish. Not bad, just not great. A decent weekday wine. Would be better at sub-$20.

A big difference from my 1st bottle (which I now know was skunked), this was excellent. Dark red color, pure in its Sangiovese profile. Rich and ripe on the palate with nice smooth balance, good length, med- tannin and a clean finish. Very pleasurable to drink, wife liked it. This producer seems to lean towards the ripe, fruit forward style. Drank next to their 2019 VNdM and a 2007 Sanguineto Riserva, both of which I'll write about separately.

Wood, blood, iron, oregano on the nose with a little bit of ripe red fruit in the background. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate adds oregano and changes of the condition of the fruits to cooked/stewed. Guessing that's a consequences of the warmer weather in 2019. Finishes very dusty and bitter. Medium intensity of flavors. With food, the fruits in the palate taste a little less cooked, which I think improves this.

Medium body, medium + acid, medium + tannin. This was significantly improved with food (eggplant parmagiana). So much so that I would say definitely don't open it without food. Probably not going to improve with any bottle age, either.

I enjoy their VNdM Normale, but something seems off here. Could just be a bad bottle. Skunk-like on the nose. Really nice fruit on the palate though. Drank next to Bindella and Le Berne, which offered typical red berry aromas. Nose improved slightly on Day 2, but still unusually funky to me. Disappointing.

Not a big Nobile drinker but lots of Montalcino experience. Softer than a Montalcino, lots of fruit, rounder on the nose. Good grip, good acid, medium tannins but not overwhelming. Red fruit. Juicy on the backend as well. Very nice with grilled steak, bread, tomato, roast vegetables. Minerality underneath. Best part is on the finish after the tartness passes.
