The superlative Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes and generations of expertise combine to make this wine an incomparable work of art full of passion - even the colour of deep red subtle violet tones enchant the senses.
On the nose, the aromas of ripe fruits and sunshine give an idea of how this wine will mature in the next few years. On the palate it is round and full in the mouth, with an excellent harmonious aftertaste of ripe cherries, which gives the wine a special length on the finish.
This wine has matured for 16 months in the best French oak barrels and three months in the bottle resulting in a beautifully pronounced structure and perfectly integrated tannins, ensuring that the potential of this wine is far from exhausted, with keeping time of at least 10 years.
The label is a creation of the Baroness Caterina de Renzis who has perfectly captured the visions of Nittardi, and the 6 bottles are individually hand wrapped in silk paper and presented in a decorative royal blue wooden box.

An incomparable work of art full of passion
Situated in the heart of Tuscany between Florence and Siena, lies Fattoria Nittardi, a winery steeped in centuries of history and tradition. Nittardi was once a fortified tower, which was first mentioned in 1182 as "Nectar Dei" – the name that now adorns the estate’s super-premium wine, an extraordinary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot. As is the tradition of Nittardi, the first bottles of this new wine were presented to Pope Bendict XVI – just as Michelango Buonarroti did in the 16th Century when he, the owner of the estate at the time, paid tribute to the Popes Julius 11 and Leo X by presenting them with, to use Michelangelo’s own words “the genuine wine of Nittardi”. Over the centuries, the estate has changed hands several times, until in 1982 the gallery owner and publisher Peter Femfert from Frankfurt and his wife Stefania, who holds a PhD in history from Venice, took over – to this day he still sends the first few bottles of a new vintage to the Pope. Today, the winery is managed by their oldest son Leon, and is an estate of 20 hectares of vineyards (yielding 40 hectolitres per hectare), a few hectares of olive groves, and 120 hectares of forest, idyllically situated in the middle of a nature reserve. Here, the vines grow in medium-depth soil with a well-balanced structure of slate and clay in a perfect location: 450m above sea level on the southern slope of a ridge, protected from harsh winds by the surrounding oak forests.
