Unapologetically bold, elegantly wild - La Nascosta Saltamacchia is a striking expression of the Val d'Orcia's untamed soul. Born on the windswept hills above the ancient village of Castiglione d'Orcia, this rend blend is Tuscany at ist most audacious : modern in spirit, while rooted in centuries of winemaking tradition.
Crafted from a powerful marriage of Sangiovese and Merlot, Saltamacchia delivers a seductive fusion or ripe red cherries, crushed violets, Tuscan herbs, warm spice, and mineral tension. It is deep, dynamic, and impossible to forget.
The name "Saltamacchia", meaning 'jump the bush, or leap the hedge", evokes the rebellious spirit of the land - and of the wine itself. Meticulously farmed under organic principles, vinified with minimal intervention and aged in fine French oak, this is a wine that walks the line between finesse and fire.
Critics and sommeliers alike have taken notice. With scores consistently in the 90s and growing acclaim accross Europe and the United States, Saltamacchia Val d'Orcia DOC is fast becoming a new benchmark for the merging excellence or the Orcia DOC.
Whether paired with grilled meats, aged cheeses or traditional Tuscan dishes, poured for a special dinnerm or cellared for future reflection, this is a wine that commads attention and rewards every moment.
