The 2021 Montepeloso Nardo IGT is a proprietary blend red wine from Tuscany, Italy. Produced by Montepeloso, this wine showcases a blend of 75% Sangiovese, 15% Malvasia Nera, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has received notable attention and high praise from professional reviewers.

Antonio Galloni of Vinous awarded the 2021 Nardo a stellar score of 97, describing it as "elegant, finessed and classy to the core." According to Galloni, the wine's aromatic presence is striking, featuring notes of white pepper, chalk, mint, blood orange, dried flowers, and cedar. Galloni highlights the wine’s "translucent energy" and recommends cellaring it for a few years for optimal enjoyment (Vinous, August 2023).

James Suckling, another respected wine critic, gave the 2021 Montepeloso Nardo a high score of 95. Suckling's tasting notes emphasize the wine’s delicate and perfumed qualities, with prominent flavors of cherries, forest fruits, strawberries, and a touch of coffee. He describes it as medium-bodied with "crunchy fruit and fine tannins that give a silky texture and lovely length." Suckling also notes the presence of earth and spice, along with hints of raw meat. He mentions that the wine involves some whole berry and whole cluster fermentation with the Sangiovese, contributing to its precise character. Suckling believes that while the wine is enticing now, it will improve further with two or three years of aging (jamessuckling.com, July 2023).

In summary, the 2021 Montepeloso Nardo IGT is a highly acclaimed red wine from Tuscany, praised for its elegance, aromatic complexity, and precise blend. Both Galloni and Suckling agree that it has significant aging potential, making it a desirable addition to any wine collection.
