Salcheto is a winery that has become a point of reference in Tuscany for environmental sustainability and high-quality wines.


Salcheto: efficiency, quality, and innovation

Salcheto, founded thirty years ago as a small family business, thanks to the control of energy efficiency in all production processes, is now a laboratory of technology applied to environmental sustainability and widespread social development.

The company philosophy of Salcheto is focused on high quality and innovation.

The winery is located in the south-eastern area of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano denomination, in the province of Siena. It takes its name from a small watercourse that outlines the property boundaries and is named after the willow trees, “salco” in ancient Tuscan, that populate the area and provide the man with the vines to tie the grapevines.

Thanks to Michele Manelli, who has been at the helm of the company since 1997, personally overseeing the work in the vineyard and cellar, Salcheto has established itself as one of the most avant-garde wineries in the world, particularly concerning environmental sustainability and biodiversity. Salcheto winery boasts significant world records related to Carbon and Water Footprint indexing.

Today the company can rely on a vineyard area covering about fifty hectares, fully managed in organic and biodynamic practices since 2009.


Salcheto: high-level organic wines

From the vineyard to bottling, the mission is aimed at achieving maximum quality, paying attention to all the intrinsic characteristics of the grapes, ensuring that each production step is carried out with meticulous care.

During the harvest, which is strictly manual, vinifications follow without the addition of sulfites and using only indigenous yeasts, while aging takes place in tonneaux and large barrels. Predominantly Sangiovese, this is how the wines branded “Salcheto” come to symbolize the best essence of the Montepulciano terroir.

The building that houses the winery has been constructed using the most modern technologies to integrate into the surrounding environment in terms of efficiency, autonomy, and energy savings. The vineyards extend over 30 hectares of the clayey and tuffaceous soils of the Sienese hills, at an altitude of over 400 meters, in the territories of Montepulciano, Chiusi, and Val d’Orcia. Attention to the plant's physiology and the choice to refrain from invasive interventions in the vineyard, in favor of cover crops, mowing, and green manures, allows the growth and development of a high-quality raw material, that is, beautiful, healthy and juice-rich bunches.

The wines signed by Salcheto are firmly focused on drinkability and aromatic precision, integrity, and balance, as well as being the offspring of the harmonious union between history, innovation, territory, and quality. These wines confirm, year after year, their unique and territorial high-level expressions.
