Sergio Mottura - Civitella D'Agliano, Lazio (organic)
Nenfro, I.G.T.
60% Merlot and 40% Montepulciano. The vines of this Civitella Rosso vineyard vary in density from 5,000 to 7,000 plants per hectare with Guyot pruning implemented. There is a long maceration time for the Nenfro, with malo-lactic fermentation occurring in steel tanks and maturation in small oak casks for twelve months, followed by another twelve in bottle. The color of this wine is ruby with garnet hues and the perfume emits intense blackberry and current with hints of licorice. The taste is consistently warm and rich in tannins with mineral salts as well. Best suited for roast and stewed meat dishes, this wine has excellent aging potential.
