Nectar Dei, the most prestigious Nittardi wine, is the result of an extraordinary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Syrah and was thus named after the ancient name with which Nittardi is mentioned in a document dated 1183. As per tradition the first bottles of this wine were donated to Pope Benedict XVI: just as Michelangelo Buonarroti did in the 16th century when, as owner of the estate, he paid tribute to Popes Julius II and Leo X by offering them the genuine wine of Nittardi, Nectar of the Gods .
Intense red color with purple veins. The nose develops aromas of ripe black fruit, spicy notes such as pink pepper and finally vanilla and tobacco; on the palate it is concentrated and complex with a long persistence. Excellent to combine with all varieties of red meat and game.
