Description
Casanuova di Nittardi Vigna Doghessa 2024 is Fattoria Nittardi’s Chianti Classico Annata, a single-varietal Sangiovese from the ‘Doghessa’ single vineyard.
It is grown at an altitude of 450 metres on undulating terrain in the ‘golden triangle’ between Panzano, San Donato and Castellina in Chianti.
Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, this Chianti Classico is treated with the utmost care to highlight the typical characteristics of the Sangiovese grape and our unique terroir. Casanuova di Nittardi has been certified organic since the 2017 vintage.
Since 1981, Casanuova di Nittardi has been produced annually in a limited edition with an artist-designed label and silk wrapping paper, created to date by, amongst others, Hundertwasser, Janssen, Penck, Arroyo, Combas, Yoko Ono, Tomi Ungerer, Günter Grass, Kim Tschang Yeul, Dario Fo, Karl Otto Götz, Alain Clément, Joe Tilson, Allen Jones, Mikis Theodorakis, Fabrizio Plessi and Chun Kwang Young.
