Chianti \u201cBiskero\u201d is composed of the region\u2019s three classic grape varieties: Sangiovese (85%), along with equal parts of Canaiolo Nero, Mammolo, and Merlot. The grapes are grown according to organic and biodynamic principles in the vineyards \u201cPoggio Piglia\u201d (9 ha.) near Chiusi, \u201cAbbadia\u201d (8 ha.) in Torrita di Siena, and \u201cGreppo\u201d (8 ha.) in Abbadia di Montepulciano. While fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, maturation (4 months) is carried out for 70% of the wine in stainless steel and the remaining part in 300-liter American oak barrels. After bottling, the wine is further aged for 3 months in the cellar before release.
\nThe wine shows a beautiful bright red color. On the nose, it is immediately fresh and fruity, with notes of raspberries and cherries. The palate highlights freshness and crispness \u2013 again with vivid red fruit tones \u2013 while also offering good structure and richness. The finish reveals a slightly spicy note, which is classic for Chianti. A refined and harmonious wine!
\nThis is a wine best enjoyed in its youth. Although it pairs well with slightly heavier dishes such as lamb and beef, it is at its finest with roasted poultry, veal, pasta dishes, or simply on its own, where its fruit and finesse can truly shine. Serving temperature: 18\u201320\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
Salcheto, with its 74 hectares of vineyards, belongs to the smaller wineries of Montepulciano, yet it has made a strong mark in recent years. The estate was founded in 1991 with an ambitious vision: replanting Sangiovese cuttings from its own massal selections, maintaining low yields, and committing to organic cultivation.<\/p>\n
Today, the vineyards are mainly planted with the local grapes Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and Canaiolo, cultivated under strict organic and biodynamic practices. Since the 2011 vintage, Michele Manelli (owner and cellar master) and his team have used a state-of-the-art off-grid cellar, which consumes 54% less energy. Their dream of achieving CO2 neutrality is becoming reality, making Salcheto a true pioneer in sustainable winemaking. In fact, they proudly state: \u201cWe are proud to be the first company in the world to have certified the carbon footprint of a bottle of wine (according to ISO 14064 standard, in 2011).\u201d
\nBeyond sustainable production, Salcheto has for over a decade strived to be a \u201cgood citizen\u201d in the global community. Through Italy\u2019s \u201csociet\u00e0 benefit\u201d registration, the company has made this mission part of its bylaws, legally committing the management to contribute to social good and report on its progress. Today, Salcheto is a nonprofit enterprise and, since July 29, 2021, officially bears the name \u201cSALCHETO S.r.l. Societ\u00e0 Agricola Societ\u00e0 Benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salcheto can be proud not only of its achievements in sustainability but also of its wines \u2013 which are truly outstanding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
