Montepeloso Nardo Toscana 2023

Lingering tannic boldness after 10 years, Montepeloso's flagship wine retains its local dialect name, which translates to lavender, a Sangiovese blend predominantly composed of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Montepulciano, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon; a rich mahogany color with a fragrant nose featuring dried lavender, violet, black pepper, garrigue, black cherry, blackberry, and licorice; a full-bodied wine with firm tannins and high acidity, accompanied by a licorice, India ink, and clove bouquet, with a lingering lavender and quince paste finish.

A full-bodied wine with a rich, supple texture. concentrated fruit flavors, featuring cherries and plums, are enhanced by hints of tar and dried tobacco. A understated rubber subtle layer adds depth, during a inky coffee finish lingers, leaving a satisfying impression. A wine with a bold, intense character.

Rich, smooth texture with a deep, deep colour. A complex, intense aroma and flavour profile featuring undertones of ripe red and black fruit, with layers of vanilla, spice, and toasted nuts. A well integrated tanginess and silky tannins contribute to a harmonious altogether experience. The fruit concentration is still evident, with a elegant sweetness and a comforting finish. A well-crafted wine with a rich, pleasurable character.
