Founded in the 1990s, the estate gained international recognition under owner and winemaker Fabio Chiarelotto, a former historian who radically overhauled the vineyards starting in the late 1990s. Chiarelotto practices organic\/biodynamic farming. In the cellar, he uses natural yeasts, relies on relatively short macerations, avoids heavy new oak influence, and bottles without filtration. His focus has been strictly on achieving restraint, elegance, and finesse, creating incredibly vibrant, food-friendly wines. Production number on these are very tiny - only approximately 3,500 bottles for eh Nardo and  3,000 bottles of Gabbro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate spans roughly 15 to 20+ hectares of vines. Their portfolio focuses primarily on Toscana IGT red blends mixing indigenous Italian varieties with international grapes. The vines sit on lime-rich petrified clay, limestone, schist, and silex soils. Strong coastal winds from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea cool the grapes, injecting a distinctive mineral drive into the wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2024 Nardo is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark, layered and beguiling, the 2024 impresses with its punchy intensity. There’s gorgeous depth but no excess weight at all. Blood orange, kirsch, white pepper, chalk and mint drive through this intense, vibrant red. This is a gorgeous, svelte Nardo. The 2024 was done with 15-20% whole clusters, but the stems aren’t especially evident. Sangiovese drives the blend and it shows.\" 94-96 - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (07\/2026) \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50579560038658,"sku":null,"price":86.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/images_00821f2d-2b9f-4f57-98a5-60d559536762.jpg?v=1790968792","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2024-nardo-igt-costa-toscana-750ml","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
