Decanter
Nambrot was first made in 1996, using Merlot grapes, and has evolved over the years into a blend together with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. In the hot and dry 2017 vintage Merlot was harvested since August 17. 'It was already pretty ripe and the wild boars were eating it all!' said Ginevra Venerosi Pesciolini. 'Very low quantity – also due to the lack of water in the berries – 28% less than the previous vintage. We manage the must to have shorter fermentation in order to save some freshness and the result is of a wine with a very important structure and richness of polyphenols, but not heavy'. Earthy, leathery and full of Mediterranean herbs up to helichrysum on the nose, it shows great cherry and cassis fruit on the palate balanced by firm acidity, with thick yet velvety tannins.
