The 2007 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Salco Evoluzione is racy, ripe and seductive. Fine, silky tannins support a core of intense, ripe fruit as this large-scaled, voluptuous wine opens up in the glass. Today the fruit remains quite primary, which is remarkable for a five year-old wine. The 2007 can be enjoyed today, but it should be better in another few years, once the bouquet opens up. Hints of tobacco, smoke, licorice, mint and grilled herbs are woven into the seamless finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2027. Importer: Massanois Imports, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 470-6769
