LOOP LINE TASTING NOTES | Raspberry, violets, blueberry and cumin on the nose. The palate is fruit-forward, silky and easy-drinking. There is a supple tannic grip, although balance is achieved more through acidity. Soft, approachable and smooth, enjoy as an evening sipper, or pair with roast pork, grilled portobellos or Margherita pizza. Established in 1984, Salcheto is the creation of viticulturist and winemaker, Michele Manelli. Michele’s genuine passion for refined and delicate wines has propelled this tiny estate into one of Montepulciano’s top producers. His mission is simple and clear: seek quality, both in the vineyard and the cellar, with an unfailing respect for the character of the grapes. Manual collections, sulfite-free vinifications, native yeasts, “Tuscan Governo” method and large botte and tonneaux barrels are the tools used to produce wines that are elegant and soft, with pronounced aromas and uniqueness for each vintage released.
