2013 Nittardi Nectar Dei Maremma Toscana
POPE WINE
I was told that this winery was owned by Michelangelo. While he was painting the Sistine Chapel, he sent wine to Rome as a gift to Pope Julius II. And following that tradition, every year they would present their first bottles of Nectar Dei, their top wine, to the Pope.
It smelled really light on the nose with a combination of black fruits, slightly sour cherries, and hints of smoke. The palate was decent with black fruits dominating and smooth tannins. I wonder what the pope thought!
