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!
