Milan Nestarec produces his Rosso ‘Forks ‘n’ Knives’ in the locality of Moravský Žižkov starting from a blend of the grape varieties Pinot Nero, Blaufränkisch, and Saint Laurent. The vineyards, about 25 years old, are organically cultivated on clayey soils, located at an altitude of 210 meters. After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed but not crushed, in order to avoid excessive extraction, with the subsequent alcoholic fermentation occurring spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. The maceration on the skins lasts for over 35 total days while the subsequent maturation period of a few months takes place in used French and Austrian oak barrels. Throughout the entire process, the mass undergoes no clarification, filtration, or sulfitation.
Cherry red is the color of the ‘Forks ‘n’ Knives’ Milan Nestarec, which on the nose reveals clear hints of sour cherry and berries, combined with pleasant vegetal and earthy notes. The taste is dynamic, very juicy and fruity, fresh, and with pleasant tannins. A Czech red wine designed for immediate consumption, best enjoyed at the table in a convivial atmosphere.
