Taste: The 2022 Nittardi Ad Astra DOC Maremma Toscana is a polished and full-bodied red blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot. It opens with a deep ruby hue and expressive aromas of ripe plum, dark berries, lavender, licorice, and a hint of chocolate. On the palate, it’s generous and layered, offering a mix of red and black fruit, subtle spice, and a touch of menthol that adds lift. Despite its richness, the wine remains fresh and balanced, finishing long with floral and savory undertones. It’s ready to drink now but structured enough to age over the next several years.
Pairing: This structured yet supple red pairs best with rich, savory dishes. The wine’s firm tannins and dark fruit flavors—cherry, plum, and blackberry—complement the richness of red meats and aged cheeses, while its earthy, spicy undertones echo the flavors found in roasted and slow-cooked dishes.
About: The 2022 Nittardi Ad Astra DOC Maremma Toscana is a well-crafted, organic red wine that blends tradition, thoughtful viticulture, and modern winemaking techniques. Produced by Fattoria Nittardi—a boutique winery with deep historical roots in Chianti Classico and a growing reputation in Maremma—Ad Astra reflects both the rugged beauty of coastal southern Tuscany and the meticulous effort it takes to craft serious yet approachable wine.
