The winemaker, Swiss-born Fabio Chiarelotto, admits about his wine that it’s “easy produce concentrated wines in such a hot climate…but it’s much harder to achieve elegance and finesse.” In order to take full advantage of the terroir’s potential, he overhauled the vineyards in 1997 – retraining, pruning, and even re-grafting many vines. In the cellar, he does relatively short macerations, employs natural yeasts during fermentation, and bottles without filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"montepeloso-nardo-costa-toscana-igt-2015","title":"Montepeloso Nardo Costa Toscana IGT 2015","description":"\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eA blend of 50% Sangiovese, 30% Montepulciano, 20% Malvasia Nera and 10% Alicante from the estate's oldest terroirs, this Montepeloso flagship matures 18 months in 40% new 400-litre barrels, followed by nine months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eRuby-colored with an intense, expressive nose, the 2015 Nardo shows brambleberry and dark plum fruit layered with earthy depth and fine-grained tannins.
