This Chianti Classico is made only in great years, with the best Sangiovese grapes from the Vigna Alta di Nittardi and a small part of Merlot. Vinified in a special way and aged for more than 26 months in French oak casks, it is a wine that transforms time into quality. It is left to mature in the bottle for 3-5 years to develop its full potential. The result is a wine of character, harmonious, balanced, full of depth and intensity, which has received numerous acknowledgements.
In recent years, among several other awards, Nittardi Riserva has won the 3 Glasses Award from the Gambero Rosso, the 5 Stars of the Decanter Award and top acknowledgement from the Grand Jury Européen. Not to mention several prizes from I Vini d’Italia as the best Chianti Classico of its vintage, winning the 5 Bottle Title of Vino dell’Eccellenza. Nittardi Riserva is also bottled in 1.5 l magnums and 3 l double magnums, a further guarantee of its longevity.
