Background
Nectar Dei is the “Super Premium” wine of Nittardi and was christened with the ancient name of Nittardi from 1183. Following tradition, the first bottles of Nectar Dei were offered to Pope Francesco. The wine is a DOC Maremma Toscana, while an upcoming DOC appellation for wines from the Tuscan coast is coming.
The Winery
Nittardi was first mentioned as “Nectar Dei“ in 1183. In the 16th century, the winery belonged to Michelangelo Buonarroti, who produced his own wine here. He is known to have sent his wine to the Pope in Rome as a “genuine gift“. The historical Nittardi estate lies in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The owner fell in love with Maremma in 1978 and designated this piece of land to produce the best “Super Tuscans”.
