Located in the historic Vino Nobile District of southeastern Siena, Salcheto Winery is a testament to Tuscany's rich viticultural heritage. The name "Salcheto" is derived from the local term for willow trees, which were traditionally used to bind grapevines. The winery is bordered by a stream that runs through Montepulciano, and the presence of willow trees on the estate symbolizes their commitment to environmental sustainability. Salcheto is a proud member of Alliance Vinum and was honored with the 2014 Sustainable Winery of the Year Award by Gambero Rosso. Their mission focuses on producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.
Since its establishment thirty years ago, Salcheto has evolved from a classic farm into a state-of-the-art winery equipped with the latest technology. Under the leadership of Michele Manelli, who has been at the helm since 1997, the winery emphasizes the importance of showcasing the quality of the terroir and the renowned Sangiovese grape.
Salcheto's vineyards are situated in some of Tuscany's finest areas, producing high-quality grapes. The winemaking process is characterized by a commitment to sustainability, utilizing sulfite-free methods and indigenous yeasts for fermentation. The winery is celebrated for its exceptional range of red, white, rosé, and dessert wines. Recently, they introduced the Bordolese Toscanella bottle, designed to honor the history of Tuscan wines while being the lightest and most eco-friendly option available on the market.

Write a reviewGreat wine experience in the heart of Tuscany. We went there without any plans and the truth is that we came away super satisfied and half-shaded after tasting the delicious red wine that God generously gave us. The surroundings and the winery, which is renovated and very pretty, are charming and make you want to come back every year. A magnificent tour that we recommend as true wine lovers.

Everything was perfect! The room, with a view of the landscape, was clean and equipped with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable, there was a kettle and a mini-bar with excellent wines. We really enjoyed Anna's guided tour and the advice for wine tasting. In the morning, breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The best thing was being able to have an aperitif immersed in the hot water barrel outdoors. Thanks to the kind and knowledgeable staff, we had a pleasant and relaxing experience. A note of merit certainly goes to the use of sustainable means for the production of wine and for the management of natural resources.

Dinner at the Indigeno restaurant at the Salcheto winery began with a delicious fried vegetable dish from the garden, light and crunchy, which highlighted the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Next, we ate a revisited carbonara with goose livers, a dish that surprised and thrilled with its perfect balance between tradition and creativity. Finally, the cheesecake was a worthy end to the meal: soft, creamy and irresistible. Special praise goes to Rubén, our waiter and sommelier, who knew how to make the evening even more memorable. With his contagious enthusiasm and rare expertise, he accompanied us in choosing the wines, passionately telling us the history and characteristics of each bottle. Thanks to his impeccable advice, each glass paired perfectly with the dishes, enhancing their flavors and creating a complete gastronomic experience.

I keep dreaming about Salcheto... the unbeatable terrace with a magnificent view, the delicious wines, the hospitality of Ruben. We came here for a simple wine tasting after missing the tour time and loved every minute of it. The 3 wines are exceptional: we tried Chianti, Nobile and Nobile Riserva - loved Nobile with its smoothness and delicate character. Ruben was so welcoming, kind and helpful in understanding the wines and the process. He let us hang out on the patio for countless hours after the tasting and poured us 2 glasses of our favorites wines to continue enjoying for free. The winery is located on a hill with a panoramic view of the Tuscan beautiful landscape. Their food menu looked divine as well but the kitchen was closed during our visit for bread making ❤️ Cannot wait to come back to this magical place.

We had dinner at the Indigeno restaurant of the winery. Given the time, we didn't enjoy the view (it was already dark, too bad!). We ordered a "gran piatto mix cinta senese" as an appetizer. The portion was definitely too small for the price (23€ for 8 slices of cheese and some cold cuts is definitely TOO MUCH). Little choice of first courses (only three), but of a good standard. The idea of "homemade" bread is good. A whole loaf is brought with three sauces. The cost of the wines was good, on par with retail prices. Very good service.
