Salcheto 2004 Salco Evoluzione Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)
- $55
The oak element here is too strong and determined at this point considering the wine’s naturally delicate notes of forest berry and cola. That said, this is a young wine that should age in the bottle for two more years so that the oak tones come into balance. Drink after 2010.

Berry fruit and some dried apple skin come off the nose of this nicely shaped Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Give it a few minutes to open up in the glass: you’ll also get background notes of pepper, clove and wood shaving. Pair this ruby colored Tuscan wine with steak and wild porcini mushrooms.
