Salcheto Toscana
Montepulciano, Italy
Salcheto Toscana is named for a stream which runs from the town of Montepulciano through a valley full of willows ("salco" means "willow tree" in the ancient Tuscan language). This stream is the boundary of Salcheto Toscana's organic and biodynamic estate, rooted in the historic district of Vino Nobile in the southeast of the Siena province of Tuscany.
Salcheto Toscana is committed to environmental sustainability. They publish a yearly sustainability report within their company and use a third-party certification system to help them watch three indicators: carbon footprint, water footprint, and biodiversity index. They operate an energy-independent cellaring system, work according to European Organic protocols, self-produce fertilizers using compost, reclaim 100% of their wastewater, and divert over 98% of their waste from a traditional landfill system. They still use the "salco" willow tree in their logo as a symbol of their commitment to sustainability.
