Note di degustazione
Montepeloso's 2012 Nardo sees Montepulciano blended with Sangiovese and Marselan. Again, the integration is seamless. This is a timeless quality seen across these new releases. The bouquet here is tightly knit together with wild berry followed by dried cherry, blackberry, leather and Indian spice. Nothing is out of place. In the mouth, the wine is silky and polished. Yet, it also shows great momentum and power. Not the easiest vintage, this wine does a great job of presenting the best attributes of 2012 on Coastal Tuscany.

A wine of gravitas and depth, the 2012 Nardo shows the intensity and power of the vintage in spades. Black cherry, dark spices, menthol and smoke are some of the notes that gradually flesh out. The 2012 has a massive center of fruit that gives the wine its mid-palate intensity and juiciness, but the elements need time to fully come together. Still, I don't expect the 2012 to make old bones. Ideally, it should be enjoyed before age ten. Today, the Nardo feels a bit heavy and weighed down.
