The Salchetto winery is in Montepulciano. The appellation is Toscana Bianco IGT. The grapes for the 2022 Salchetto Obvius Unfiltered Bianco were grown organically. The blend is 75% Trebbiano from the Poggio Piglia vineyard and 25% Vermentino grown in partnership with the Greppiano di Lamporecchio winery. Four months of aging took place in 70% Stainless steel and 30% oak. Alcohol sits at a reasonable 13% abv and the retail price, if memory serves, was just under $20 at Eataly in Los Angeles.
This wine has a beautiful golden hue. Its nose captivates me. Salinity comes first, like a whiff of an ocean breeze. Then comes stone fruit, ripe apricots and peaches. There is a hint of orange peel. The palate is loaded with fruit, a savory saltiness, and a bracing acidity. This is a really well made wine. The finish is clean and lively, with the savory aspects lasting longest.
