Nittardi Belcanto Chianti Classico is a special and renowned red wine produced by the Nittardi estate in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is known for its high quality and unique character.
Nittardi Belcanto Chianti Classico has a ruby red color. The nose smells of juicy cherries, raspberries and spicy aromas with hints of Mediterranean herbs. The wine has a medium body with soft and juicy tannins on the palate and a fresh and velvety finish.
In the music world, Belcanto stands for the harmony that a complete composition radiates. Bel canto also echoes the adage of the great wine critic Luigi Veronelli: “Wine is the hymn of the earth to the sky.” In all respects Belcanto is the appropriate name for Nittardi's latest composition. The label refers to the history and terroir of the wine: eight pebbles in the colors of the gray galestro bottom and the typical red hue of Chianti Classico, such as the eight notes of the scale and the eight grape varieties of Belcanto. And looking from this mosaic of eight pebbles, the face of Nittardi's historic owner: the Italian master painter and archetypal "Renaissance man", Michelangelo Buonarroti.
All grapes come from the vineyards of Nittardi in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti. Half of the grapes for Belcanto come from vineyards in Nittardi, located 450 meters above sea level, while the other half come from a vineyard near Villa Rosa, south of Castellina at 270 meters.
Planted in 1968, Villa Rosa's vineyard has Sangiovese and small amounts of seven other local grape varieties, including Canaiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo, Mammolo, Foglia Tonda and Pugnitello. Both vineyards enjoy a soil mix of limestone and clay with a rich skeleton of Galestro, the local name for slate, giving the wine a pleasant minerality. Maturation of this Chianti wine takes place for 12 months in French oak barrels of 500 liters and for 4 months in concrete barrels.
Nittardi Belcanto Chianti Classico is an excellent accompaniment to various dishes, including grilled red meat, game dishes, pasta with rich sauces and mature cheeses.
