Proyecto Nakkal

Proyecto Nakkal
Proyecto Nakkal is a Uruguayan winery with a twist. Run by childhood friends Santi Degásperi and Nico Monforte, these guys are all about letting the grapes shine. Inspired by the ancient guardians of Atlantis, the Nakkals, who believed in minimal intervention, Santi and Nico craft natural wines that are pure Uruguay. Their vineyards bask in the cool climate and steady rainfall near the Río de la Plata, resulting in wines that are light-bodied, fresh, and bursting with acidity. They farm sustainably too, keeping the land and the ecosystem happy.

About the Winemaker

Proyecto Nakkal

Proyecto Nakkal was founded in 2020 by two passionate friends, Nicolás Monforte and Santiago Degasperi, it's a project built on a love for natural wines and minimal intervention. Unlike many wineries, they don't rely on a barrage of additives or oak aging. Instead, they source organic grapes, letting the unique characteristics of the fruit shine through. Their philosophy aligns with the ancient legend of the Nakkal, who were believed to be guardians of balance and wisdom – a fitting namesake for winemakers who prioritize natural expression.

What truly sets Proyecto Nakkal apart is their commitment to showcasing Uruguay's potential for exceptional natural wines!
