Nittardi Chianti Classico Riserva

Nittardi Chianti Classico Riserva is a special and high quality red wine produced by the Nittardi estate in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, Italy. The term "Riserva" indicates that this wine has undergone a longer aging period than the standard Chianti Classico, making it more complex and refined.

The wine is mainly made from the Sangiovese grape, which forms the basis of many Chianti wines. In addition to Sangiovese, other indigenous grape varieties, such as Canaiolo and Colorino, and sometimes a small amount of international grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, can be used to compose the blend.

Nittardi Chianti Classico Riserva undergoes a careful vinification process, in which the grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. The wine is then aged in large oak barrels and sometimes smaller barriques, depending on the winery and desired style.

The result is a wine with a deep ruby red color and a complex aroma of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and blackberries, combined with spicy notes, such as black pepper and thyme. The taste is full and structured, with firm tannins and a balanced acidity, ensuring excellent storage capacity.

Nittardi Chianti Classico Riserva is a wine that can age well and over time the wine will evolve, developing more softness and complexity.
