From the Salcheto winery in Tuscany comes this superb Chianti red wine. Produced from a core of Sangiovese grapes, harvested in 2020 following a challenging growing season, with everything from heat waves to hail storms thrown at the poor Tuscan vineyards. Deep notes of cherry, with tangy raspberry and cranberry softening peppery, drying oak. Darker plum and blackcurrant bring along wafts of leather and earthy spice.

Producer Information

Salcheto is the name of a stream that runs through the property where willows once grew in abundance. They have just begun to replant willow trees on the estate in areas not suitable for viticulture. Eventually Salcheto will use the wood for heating, with the goal of creating a sustainable green system at the winery that is 100-percent energy independent. Even the measure of their carbon footprint per bottle of wine is a true trailblazer for the industry, including not only the work in the vineyard and winery, but also the emissions from obtaining raw materials (glass in particular) and transportation to the final consumer. At Salcheto, the path to reduce emissions travels hand in hand with quality production of the wines. Salcheto is full energy independence, the first “Off Grid” winery, in the sense of being completely disconnected from traditional power-distribution networks. This result has been achieved by combining, in an integrated way, water recycling and independence, energy savings, and renewable energy sources present in the countryside, not only Solar Photovoltaic but also geothermal and biomasses systems.
