Cantina Fassati, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Salarco 2015

Cantina Fassati’s 2015 Salarco is a Riserva expression of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, one of Tuscany’s most respected red wine appellations. With additional ageing beyond the standard designation, it is designed to offer greater depth, structure and refinement while reflecting the historic character of Montepulciano.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep ruby colour with garnet tones developing from bottle age. Aromas typically associated with mature Vino Nobile include ripe red and dark berries, violet, dried herbs, cedar and subtle earthy or balsamic nuances. On the palate, it should offer a firm yet polished structure, with concentrated fruit, lively acidity and refined tannins supporting notes of cherry, plum, spice and gentle oak. The 2015 vintage and Riserva ageing give it good mid- to long-term drinking potential, with further complexity likely to emerge as the wine matures.

Production
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is traditionally based on Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, often complemented by other permitted Tuscan varieties. Specific details regarding the vineyard sites, harvesting methods and vinification of the Salarco Riserva are not provided; however, the Riserva designation requires longer maturation than standard Vino Nobile, contributing to its developed character and integrated structure.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C after allowing the bottle to come to temperature gradually. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly if the wine shows sediment or appears youthful. Its structure makes it a natural match for Tuscan dishes, grilled or braised beef, wild boar ragù, roast lamb, porcini mushrooms and mature hard cheeses.
