MORE INFORMATION

A playful and vibrant red from Proyecto Nakkal, the Nakcool Vino Tinto blends Merlot and Muscat Ottonel in a refreshing, low-alcohol style. Hand-harvested from clay-rich vineyards in Canelones, the grapes are co-fermented using native yeasts and undergo a gentle short maceration before tank aging. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulfites, Nakcool brings natural wine ethos directly to the glass.

This medium-bodied red delights with aromas of wildflowers, Bing cherry, red plum, and a playful hint of mint. On the palate, it’s juicy, light, and irresistibly easy-drinking—perfect for casual gatherings or lively meals.

"This is one of those wines that makes people smile after the first sip. It's light, juicy, and meant to be enjoyed with friends—not analyzed. Give it 15–20 minutes in the refrigerator before serving, pair it with pizza, charcuterie, or tacos, and don't be surprised if the bottle disappears faster than expected."

About This Wine

Where does this wine come from?

Proyecto Nakkal, Canelones, Uruguay. Born in the vineyards of Canelones, Proyecto Nakkal is a small, independent winery dedicated to exploring the freer side of Uruguayan wine. Working with organically farmed vineyards and minimal intervention in the cellar, the project embraces spontaneous fermentation, native yeasts, and traditional techniques that allow each wine to reflect both the vineyard and the vintage. Every bottle is crafted with curiosity, authenticity, and a belief that wine should be as joyful as it is expressive.

Who makes this wine?

Facundo Nakkal

Winemaker Facundo Nakkal founded Proyecto Nakkal with a simple philosophy: make honest wines with as little intervention as possible. Inspired by traditional winemaking methods and driven by curiosity rather than convention, he creates wines that celebrate freshness, texture, and individuality. Each release is intentionally small, expressive, and designed to tell the story of Uruguay from a different perspective.

Why did we choose this wine?

We chose this wine because it breaks nearly every expectation people have about red wine. Crafted using carbonic maceration from Merlot and Muscat Ottonel, it's bright, juicy, low in alcohol, and meant to be served with friends, conversation, and a slight chill. It's proof that serious winemaking doesn't always have to take itself seriously.
