This exclusively "home made" edition vintage operation touches on several subjects, from a technical and cultural approach to wine closures, wood management, to packaging and waste disposal issues. The coming grand opening of the new "off-grid" cellar in the international year of forests, as 2011 was declared by the U.N., the 2005 Salco Evoluzione is offered in a very special package: two bottles, one closed with a screw-cap and another one with a natural cork which are packed in a wooden case made of materials derived from the pallet industry that becomes a garden of sage and rosemary. Salcheto uses only FSC and PEFC Certified paper and wood based productsFebruary 21, 2011 The attention to packaging (which account for 42% of emissions in the wine glass) in 2011 will result in important new and ongoing testing at the winery. First we have required, and qualified that, all paper and wood supplies (from the pallet, cork, cartons/cardboard, labels) come from sustainably managed forests, as certified by FSC and PEFC. Wood based products, if well managed, are one of the few resources in the world that is clean and renewable that is also used widely at the winery. More information on this choice, in this, the United Nations designated International Year of Forests, can be found on the new back-label of our wines. This special attention will be extended to all wood based supply, from barrels to office supplies.

Salco 2004 is here! Featuring labels by Filmmaker Michel GondryMay 27, 2010 Salcheto Winery of Montepulciano (Si) is proud to introduce the 2004 Salco Evoluzione, cornerstone of the winery, which carries a label and signature featuring the eclectic spirit of Visual Artist and Filmmaker Michel Gondry. Salco is a Vino Nobile, born on the vine of a small plot of land of 2 hectares (approximately 5 acres), where only Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese of Montepulciano) grows. The name “Evoluzione” is the foundation to understand the inspiring ideals of our company’s ethos. We continuously research the balance of the vineyard, and thanks to the “aging” that time provides, the refining in the bottle (total of 4 years at the winery), and the personal and professional growth of our inspired men and women who drive this journey in the fields. Therefore, this label fully represents who we are. |
