Nittardi Ad Astra 2022

Description

Sangiovese 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc 5%, secret varietals 5%

The name for the second wine from the Maremma region is gleaned from the Latin phrase Per Aspera Ad Astra — “a rough road leads to the stars”. Fermentation in 5 and 10.5-ton stainless steel tanks, followed by twelve months of aging in French oak barrique and tonneaux, a few month in concrete and subsequent bottle aging for 6 month. Deep ruby red, suggestive nose of plums and berries and with a hint of licorice; a fine wine with a complex bouquet. 14.5% ABV
