Product Notes

Nittardi Belcanto Chianti Classico is a sublime Italian wine hailing from Tuscany, known for its savoury, full-bodied splendour. Boasting a beautiful garnet hue, it presents an aromatic bouquet of ripe cherries, toasted oak, and earthy nuances. On the palate, it expresses well-balanced tannins and a pleasant acidity, underscored by flavours of red berries, leather, and a hint of spice. This robust Chianti Classico leaves a lingering, velvety finish. Perfectly paired with robust meat dishes or matured cheeses, this is a fantastic choice for those who adore characterful, hearty wines. It is a testament to Nittardi's commitment to traditional viticulture.

Tasting Notes

Rich ruby-red colour, juicy cherry and raspberry aromas with hints of Mediterranean herbs and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with soft and elegant tannins on the palate and with an important long lasting finish.
