Montepeloso Nardo Costa Toscana IGT 2015

The wine is a blend of 50% Sangiovese 30% Montepulciano 10% Alicante 20% Malvasia Nera.Nardo (Tuscan dialect for lavender), remains Montepelosos’ flagship wine. A wine that conquers all the senses, is also massively structured. Still, the potential I sensed from barrel is all there in the glass. Rich, dark and powerful, the Nardo is one of the more intense wines in the range and is likely to require considerable patience. Dark red/black fruit melted road tar, tobacco, licorice, cloves and cracked pepper linger on the potent, brooding finish. The Nardo is distinguished in the range for its firm, nervous tannin.
