Tasting notes
Made with 65% Sangiovese, 25% Malvasia Nera, 5% Montepulciano and 5% Alicante, the Montepeloso 2019 Nardo shows savory notes of spice and tobacco that are expertly layered into black fruit, dried blackberry and baked plum. There is a soft, almost sweet side to the fruit, but the mouthfeel is quite structured and firm thank to the tannins and the abundant fruit weight layered within. I do notice the 15% alcohol. Some 3,400 bottles were released.

The 2019 Nardo is bright and effusive in the glass, with striking aromatic presence and exceptional balance. Sweet floral notes lead into a core of red-fleshed fruit, leather, tobacco, incense and dried herbs. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2019 possesses striking depth and tons of nuance. Superb.
