Chianti Classico

Medium

Cork

Located in the heart of Chianti Classico and once owned by Renaissance artist Michelangelo, Nittardi has been owned by Peter Femfert and his wife since 1981. The Gran Selezione is sourced from the Vigna Alta vineyard at 500m with soils composed of alberese and galestro. 100% Sangiovese, it’s fermented in stainless steel with 24 months of ageing in 500L French and Austrian barrels, 20% new, then six months in concrete. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Layers of red cherries, wood spice, cedar and smoke on both nose and palate. Full-bodied. Thick tannins and smooth, balanced acidity. Sara Bachiorri: Cured meat, fresh and dried dark and red fruit. Leather, tobacco and spices on the long finish. A wine for an important, meaty main course. Complex and entertaining. Jason Millar: An ambitious, modern style. Blackberries on buttered toast on the nose, then a dense, chewy palate with black fruit concentration and tea leaves.
