Descrizione

Il Nicchio from Tenuta del Nicchio is an emblematic wine of Toscana IGT, an authentic expression of the winemaking tradition of this prestigious region. Made with a skillful selection of native grape varieties, it represents a perfect balance between elegance and structure, the result of careful vinification and aging that enhances its typical organoleptic characteristics.

In the glass it shows an intense color, accompanied by complex aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, and herbal hints that recall the territory rich in history and passion. On the palate, Il Nicchio stands out for the softness of the tannins and a freshness supported by good acidity, making it versatile for pairings. Ideal with grilled red meats, roasts, and traditional Tuscan dishes, it offers a warm and balanced tasting experience, perfect for refined convivial moments.

The attention to detail and respect for the terroir make this wine a true ambassador of the Tuscan territory, capable of telling, sip by sip, the unique character of Tenuta del Nicchio.

Winery history

Tenuta del Nicchio is a recent project by Lodovico Antinori, carried forward together with his daughter Sophia. The vineyards, reclaimed from parcels long left uncultivated in the Tuscan Maremma, have been progressively restored to cultivation to produce wines with a clearly defined territorial identity. Technical management involves external professionals, while the family oversees commercial activity and brand image.

Production philosophy

A pursuit of finesse and a strong sense of place with limited production: the estate favors early harvests and parcel-by-parcel work to produce more elegant, characterful wines, focusing on varieties such as Cabernet Franc and on measured aging.

Terroir and vineyards

Alta Maremma, near Bibbona and Bolgheri. Vineyards lie in parcels a few kilometres from the sea, with vines on north-facing slopes and on steeper, terraced plots.
