A simple and tasty blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, the Poderi dal Nespoli Nespolino Rosso.
A blend of 84% Sangiovese and 16% Merlot from Emilio-Romagna, Italy. The Merlot is aged in barriques for an unspecified amount of time.
Sample submitted for review. The wine can be found for as low as $9. It is imported by Kindred Vines.
Two of the main red grape varieties are used to produce Nespolino. The wine celebrates Nespoli not only in its’ local flavors, but also the combination with an international variety which brings good results for the Romagna area.
This pleasant wine has an intense ruby red color and thanks also to the aging process of the Merlot in barriques, it gives a soft feeling to the palate. The main fruit aromas are cherry and violet, typical of the Sangiovese, together with herbs and chocolate aromas from the Merlot. Dry and harmonious, it is an overall well-balanced wine.
