Nittardi Description

Intense dark red, 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 and persisting finish.

Nittardi Gran Selezione 2020 is still a 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. 

100% Sangiovese. Nittardi Gran Selezione grows in our best vineyard, the Vigna Alta. The vineyard lies on a south-facing hill at 500 meters above sea level and has a soil of limestone, called locally Alberese that gives structure and power to the wine and schist, called locally Galestro that engenders the wine with an elegant minerality and freshness.

Aged 24 months in 500 liter Austrian and French oak barrels (20% new), 6 months in a single concrete vat, 12 months in bottle.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

Here's an exciting new top-shelf submission from Nittardi. The organic 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione (in the black label) is a very full and generous wine with a full-bodied approach that reflects a hot vintage. The wine is inky dark in appearance and redolent of black fruit, sweet spice and campfire embers. There is sweet oak cinnamon on the close.
