Nittardi
Nittardi
Nittardi is recorded as the medieval Nectar Dei estate and later belonged to Michelangelo Buonarroti, who sent its wine to Rome as a papal gift in 1549. Peter Femfert and Stefania Canali acquired and restored the property in 1981, and their son Leon Femfert has directed the family winery since 2013. Certified-organic estate vineyards in Chianti Classico are joined by a separate coastal Maremma property, allowing the range to move from Sangiovese-led wines to Mediterranean blends and Vermentino. Since 1981, a different international artist has created the label and wrapping for Casanuova di Nittardi Vigna Doghessa, extending Michelangelo’s connection into an annual wine-and-art tradition.
