Description
Casanuova di Nittardi has a rich ruby red color.Intense red fruit character - ripe cherries and plums dominate, with interesting notes of garrigue and white pepper.The taste has a beautifully elegant and juicy structure with an important tannin backbone that gives the wine length and graceful aging.We like to drink the wine with a traditional Ossobuco in Bianco or with a Peposo dell'Impruneta, in addition, it can be beautifully combined with meat dishes and various pastas, preferably with squirrel bread.Best served at around 16 ° C (slightly cooler than you would normally serve your red wine).
Since 1981, Nittardi has paid tribute to Michelangelo every year by having internationally recognized artists such as Hundertwasser, Yoko Ono, Günter Grass or Dario Fo make the label and a wrapping paper.The artwork for the 2018 vintage was entrusted to the artist Johannes Heisig.The two paintings that the German artist has dedicated to this Chianti Classico are a hymn to the earth and the fruits that bring joy and seduce us.While the wrapping paper is his personal vision of the Vigna Doghessa vineyard, he painted for the label Bacchus offering Sibyl a glass of wine, always being the muse of many artists.
The Casanuova di Nittardi vineyard is a pure Sangiovese from the vineyard "Vigna Doghessa". The vineyard is located on a south-facing hill at 450 meters above sea level and has a soil full of slate, which gives the wine a strong minerality and pleasant freshness.
Aging: 14 months in French oak barrels of 500l.
