Riserva

On the hills of the Nittardi estate, the 2006 vintage was similar to those between 1997-2001: warm without too much heat, as in the best sites of Tuscany. Indeed, the alcohol is a bit less at 13.5% and the addition of Merlot was increased up to 10%. The wine is dense garnet and is restrained with cherry kernel, leather, amazing salted-chocolate and finishes with a good length of tobacco flavour. The up and down of fresh fruit and sweet toast comes back on the palate with an extremely supple body yet grippy finish.
