NUDO IVO
ORGANIC IGT ROSSO COSTA TOSCANA
A real Maremman - strong body with a gentle heart.
IVO is dedicated to Stefanos Nonno "Ivo", who was a wine lover and a real Maremman: a bit rough but with a big, gentle heart.
So is IVO too. And it's rare, we only produce 1500 bottles.
IVO is a complex wine with a pleasantly spicy note. As a Syrah, it is full-bodied with a soft heart of Sangiovese, which gives it a light freshness and elegance and rounds it off in a wonderful way.
