San Salvagio Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG

A classic representative of southern Tuscany: The San Salvagio Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG shows why Prugnolo Gentile — the local Sangiovese clone — has formed the backbone of this appellation for centuries.

Tenuta San Salvagio cultivates its vineyards around the town of Montepulciano at an altitude of approximately 600 meters. The soils alternate between clay and sandstone, giving the wine its characteristic combination of structure and freshness. As a DOCG, each bottle undergoes a minimum of two years of aging before leaving the winery—one of the strictest minimum aging periods in Tuscany.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby ​​color with a slightly garnet rim. The nose offers aromas of sour cherry, dried plum, and violet, underpinned by hints of tobacco and earth. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm but ripe tannins and lively acidity—typical of Sangiovese at this altitude. The finish is long and spicy. The wine industry awarded this vintage 89 points.

Serving suggestion: Serve at 17–18 °C. Pairs well with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar salami, braised dishes with rosemary jus, or aged Pecorino di Pienza. Drinking window: now until 2030.
