Winemaker / Tasting Notes
Nittardi Riserva Selezionata is released only in the best years. This special selection is grown on the southern slope of the hillside Vigna Alta, at almost 500 m (1,640 ft.) above sea level. This Vino da Meditazione combines the best aspects of the Nittardi terroir with the philosophy of our oenologist Carlo Ferrini. Internationally respected wine guides such as Gambero Rosso, Decanter, Wine Spectator and James Suckling regularly give Nittardi Riserva the highest of ratings.
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 considering the warm growing season. Outstanding texture, remarkable softness with a long & persisting finish. Riserva 2017 is still a very compact and young wine and it will be exciting to follow the evolution of this wine for the next 20 years. It matches perfectly with dishes of the creative Tuscan cuisine. It should be served at around 17° C.
