Nittardi farm is situated half way between Florence and Siena, in the historic heart of Chianti Classico, 8 km north of Castellina in Chianti. The earliest written documents, preserved in Pieve della Piazza, reports the “Nectar Day” Tower (1183), land cornerstone of the debated border between the provinces of Siena and Florence. In the sixteenth century Nittardi became property of Michelangelo Buonarroti who, eager to offer to the Pope “a genuine gift” asked his nephew Lionardo, administrator of his lands in Chianti, to send to Rome some Nittardi wine.
Nittardi farm is now a winery that produces wine, olive oil and grappa. We produce two wines that bear the historic emblem of Chianti Classico, Casanuova di Nittardi and Nittardi Reserve. We also created two new wines of Maremma, the prestigious Nectar Dei, which immediately aroused great enthusiasm, and Ad Astra, wine of the highest pleasantness.
