About Fattoria Nittardi 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Nittardi is an organic boutique winery situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, on the boundary between the provinces of Siena and Florence. Robert Parker, James Suckling, Decanter and Gambero Rosso have all given Nittardi the highest praise for its wines. As homage to the artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, whom the property belonged in the 16th century, a unique combination of art and wine is still cultivated here today.
The Vineyards of Nittardi represent the heart of the estate and produce elegant and refined grapes year after year. Their Villa Rosa Vineyards are located close to the beautiful hamlet of San Quirico, south of Castellina in Chianti, most of the vineyards are over 50 years old. The Mongibello delle Mandorlaie Vineyards in Maremma are south of Scansano and close to Montiano, only eight kilometers from the seaside. All vineyards are certified organic.
Nittardi Riserva Selezionata is a Chianti Classico Riserva based on their best Sangiovese grapes. Their Super Premium Riserva is produced only in the best vintages and represents best the terroir of Nittardi with the know-how of the winemaking team guided by Carlo Ferrini. The first vintage was produced 1985 and shows still today that the wine can age easily 25 + years.
This 2019 is mainly Sangiovese with 3% of Merlot blended in. It is an intense dark red, has a nose of blueberry, dark cherry, ripe blackberry and garrigue with notes of exotic spices. Medium palate with elegant tannins and excellent freshness. Outstanding texture, remarkable fine grained tannins with a long & persisting finish.
James Suckling rated this 2019 93 points! Nittardi Riserva 2019 is still a very compact and young wine and it will be exciting to follow the evolution of it for the next 20 years. This Chianti Classico matches perfectly to the creative Tuscan cuisine.
