Salcheto 2010 Salco (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese
Winery: Salcheto / Salco

Dense and structured, this opens with aromas of baked plum, menthol, coconut and toasted oak. The concentrated palate displays cherries marinated in spirits, grilled sage, licorice and roasted coffee bean alongside tightly packed, fine-grained tannins that need time to unwind. Drink 2018–2030.
