Locals' Pick: Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano | 2020

At Vinya, we love recommending this wine for those looking for a nice medium red with enough personality to elevate a simple homecooked meal. Founded in 1984 as a classic multi-use farm, Salcheto is a vineyard of over 60 hectares of organically farmed grapes, operating in one of the most ecologically advanced cellars and aiming to be the first "off the grid," self-contained winery. Their style is traditional, yet approachable for the younger consumer with cozy tannins and long-legged, silky red fruits. If this is your house wine, sign me up. ~Allegra A
