Casanuova by Nittardi, a Chianti Classico strenghtening the wine and art combo

“Wine and culture” or either “wine is culture”: no limits for us (LOL). But, now, the combination is made by Nittardi, a winery in Chianti Classico (and not only there), owned by Stefania Canali (history expert from Venice) and her husband Peter Femfert (German editor and art connoisseur). They bought the winery in 1981, but the estate and the amazing small village with the tower in Castellina in Chianti is dated back earlier in the history and art (that is culture, of course).

A tour was based on the stimulation of sensation through the wine, the winery and the story of the fascinating Sicily.
