With only 9,000 bottles made, the 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Salco represents an important selection of fruit from the estate's best growing sites. The wine is compact and hard and offers aromas that veer toward black fruit and exotic spice. On the inside, it shows nervous energy, bright acidity and firm tannins. This vintage needs a few extra years of bottle evolution before it completely unwinds and relaxes.
