Toscana IGT Rosso Nearco 2019 Col d'Orcia

The Tuscan red wine Nearco di Col d'Orcia was born in the homonymous vineyard located on the Sant'Angelo in Colle hill overlooking the Orcia river, in the heart of the municipality of Montalcino.

It is produced with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes, harvested only by hand. The separate fermentation of the vines takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C for about 20 days, while the malolactic fermentation takes place in cement. Subsequently the wine ages in barriques for 24 months in French oak barriques.

Nearco is characterized by an intense ruby red colour. The nose opens with hints of currants, blackberry jam, tomato leaves and the toasted notes of wood. On the palate it shows great structure with ripe tannins and a sweet and balanced finish.

Perfect to accompany stewed red meats and game, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
