Nittardi

A renowned winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Cantina Nittardi stands in the enchanting hills on the border between the provinces of Florence and Siena. Its history is rooted in the distant 11th century, when the estate began its existence as a modest defence tower, known by the evocative name of 'Nectar Dei'. However, fate shaped the destiny of this estate in an extraordinary way in the 16th century, when the famous Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti became its owner. Legend has it that in 1549, while in Rome to paint the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo asked his nephew Lionardo to send bottles of Nittardi wine to Pope Julius II as a sign of respect and homage. From that moment on, art and wine have been intertwined in an unbreakable partnership for Nittardi. Every year, an internationally renowned artist is engaged to create two original works: one to decorate the label of Nittardi's prestigious Chianti Classico Casanuova and the other for the silk paper that gracefully wraps each bottle.
