Casanuova di Nittardi Chianti Classico is in addition to a top Chianti and a very special wine. The 2022 has already received excellent reviews (93pts from Falstaff and James Suckling and 92 pts from Robert Parker) but what makes it absolutely collectable is definitely its label and packaging!
Fattoria Nittardi has a long history dating back to the 16th century when it was in the hands of Michelangelo Buonarroti. While Michelangelo was painting Cappella Sistina he came close to the Pope and thus he was sending him wines every year. This is a tradition that continues until today, and the wines of each year are first presented to the Pope.
In 1982 the winery passed into the hands of Peter Femfert and his wife, Stefania Canali. Peter and Stefania decided to pay homage to Michelangelo and so every year, for 41 years, the Casanuova di Nittardi label is designed by an artist. This year, the label was designed by RISSA, a prominent figure in contemporary art, known for her distinctive style that blends technical precision with emotional depth. Her label draws inspiration from the classical mosaics of the Renaissance.
The content of the bottle of Casanuova di Nittardi Chianti Classico 2022 is 100% Sangiovese from the vineyard Vigna Doghessa. The wine ages for 14 months in old French and Austrian oak barrels (only 10% of them are new). After that, it's bottled and aged for a few months in the bottle in the cellar of the winery.
