Casanuova di Nittardi is a traditional Chianti Classico made from Sangiovese grapes with the addition of 5% Canaiolo to make it softer and more rounded.
Both in the vineyard and in the cellar Casanuova di Nittardi enjoys special care and attention. A minimum 6 months of ageing in oak casks contributes to making it elegant and highly suitable for laying down.
Nittardi has a long history linked to the art world, and the tradition continues today. As a tribute to the estate’s most celebrated owner – Michelangelo – every year an artist creates a label and a special tissue paper wrapping for a limited edition of around 3000 bottles.
Begun in 1981 the collection includes the work of internationally famous artists such as Adami, Arroyo, Bach, Corneille, Hrdlicka, Hundertwasser, Janssen, Mitoraj, A.R. Penck, Tadini, Yoko Ono and now Tomi Ungerer. In 2007, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Collection, the book “Le etichette artistiche di Nittardi” (Nittardi Art Labels) was published.
