Category	Wine
Varietals	Sangiovese Merlot
Region	Italy, Tuscany, Chianti Classico
Brand	Nittardi
Alcohol/vol	14%

Intense ruby red, nose of blueberry, dark cherry, ripe blackberry and garrigue with notes of exotic spices. Medium palate with elegant tannins and balanced acidity. Outstanding texture, remarkable softness with a long & persisting finish. Riserva 2016 is still a very compact and young wine that will shine from 2020 onwards for at least 20 years to come. It matches perfectly with dishes of the creative Tuscan cuisine.

Wine Advocate

wa93

The Nittardi 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is a handsome and balanced wine that delivers lots of intensity, partly due to the quality of the primary fruit and partly due to the spicy oak. The wine opens to a dark, inky appearance with more plum and blackberry than you get in your standard Chianti Classico (those wines tend to veer toward red and purple fruits instead). The wine, representing a blend of 97% Sangiovese and 3% Merlot, offers lots of power and momentum with soft tannins and a nice touch of crisp acidity on the close. Serve it with an ossobuco and a side of extra cheesy risotto.

Ornellaia Ornellaia 2011

Ornellaia Ornellaia 2011

The sun-filled, early-maturing 2011 vintage perfectly expresses the qualities of Ornellaia. The wine appears an intense, youthful ruby red. The nose offers rich fruit that is fully ripe yet at the same time crisp and lively, backgrounded by delicate nuances of balsam and toastiness. On the palate, the powerful concentration immediately impresses, as do the tannins, massive yet silk-smooth and glossy, which allows the wine to completely fill the mouth but with no feeling of heaviness. The finish, near endless, is deliciously pungent and spicy, with a welcome crispness throughout.

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2012

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2012

Tenuta Nuova 2012 has balsamic and red fruit notes, while in the mouth shows itself with ripen and silky tannins which are supported by a vibrant finish. It is now enjoyable but capable of ageing for many years. This wine is persistent, velvety, and goes on for minutes once opened. It should be served at 16-17 C°, opening the bottle at least 2 hours in advance or alternatively decanting gently

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Deep ruby in color, fruity and floral bouquet with subtle spice; silky, structured and well balanced, with soft, noble tannins. Aged by regulations for four years, of which approximately two and a half are in wood, Fuligni's regular Brunello di Montalcino also has optimal lasting characteristics but is destined for more immediate drinking. With its elegant combination of fruit and spicy aromas, the Fuligni Brunello is, in any case, the result of carefully selected grapes coming from low yields per hectare and is not produced in years when the quality of the harvested grapes is not suitable to maintain the high standards of the estate.

Brovia Barolo Garblèt Sue' 2015

Brovia Barolo Garblèt Sue' 2015

The grapes for this formidable "cru" are from the Garblet Sué vineyard (also referred to as the "Fiasco" vineyard) in Castiglione Falletto on south/southeast slopes at an altitude of 250 meters with soil that is predominantly limestone. This is a dynamic wine filled with surprises. The Garblet Sué" is a fraternal twin to the more stern and imposing "Villero" with the classic restrained power of the best of the wines from this classic village in the heart of the Barolo zone. The site is 0.7 hectare with vines planted in 1970 and 1979. It distinguishes itself by its enormous energy, a positive and heady wine with a gorgeous interplay of black fruits and minerals. The lively presence on the palate reminds one of the remarkable ability of Nebbiolo to retain its vibrant acidity while building its sugar reserves.

Paolo Bea Montefalco Rosso Riserva Pipparello 2012

Paolo Bea Montefalco Rosso Riserva Pipparello 2012

Similarly large-scaled as the San Valentino, the Pipparello is more overwhelmingly brooding, and more intense in its concentration. The ultra-savory nose is a thick swamp of camphor, black olives, fresh tar, and sandalwood, with pretty high-toned spices lurking in the background. Its palate is arrestingly dense, yet it carries an incredible amount of energy given its over-all disposition. This is a rough-and-tumble, wholly uncompromising wine without a polite bone in its body, yet it still manages to be erudite and nuanced - an embodiment of the spirit of the Bea style at its most extreme.

Muri Gries Lagrein 2018

Muri Gries Lagrein 2018

This Lagrein pours a deep purple color. On the nose, it is invitingly open and multi-layered with notes of violet, chocolate, ripe damsons and spices. On the palate, the wine is elegant with a velvety structure, tightly knit tannins and hints of bitter almonds. Best enjoyed slightly below room temperature with game, grilled meat dishes or a juicy entrecôte steak. To enjoy this wine at its best, drink within 5 years.
