Il Chianti Classico DOC Belcanto di Nittardi is born in the heart of Tuscany, a land renowned for its wine-growing tradition. Made primarily from the Sangiovese grape, this wine fully reflects the elegance and structure that characterize the Chianti Classico denomination. After a careful selection of the grapes, Belcanto matures in French oak barrels, giving it aromatic complexity and a silky tannic texture.



In the glass, it presents an intense ruby color, while the bouquet opens with notes of ripe cherry, violet, and spicy hints evoking the Tuscan underbrush. On the palate, it is balanced, with good freshness and a persistent finish, ideal to accompany red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses. An authentic and refined expression of Chianti Classico, capable of telling the unique character of the terroir where it is born.

Winery history
The estate is already mentioned in 1183 under the toponym "Nectar Dei" and in the 16th century became part of the holdings of Michelangelo Buonarroti, who sent wine to the Pope. In the 1980s the property was acquired by the Canali–Femfert family, who began the revival of the historic estate in Chianti and, in the late 1990s, expanded operations by acquiring vineyards in Maremma; management of the second generation has been entrusted to Léon Femfert.
Production philosophy
There is a strong connection between winemaking and art, with a focus on vineyard quality and a gradual transition to organic practices and sustainability certifications.
