The name of Nittardi's 'second wine' from the Maremma region is gleaned from the Latin phrase Per Aspera Ad Astra — “a rough road leads to the stars”. A phrase that is also true for great wines, as greatness requires a great deal of loving work and care in the vineyards. Ad Astra grows on the sun-drenched hills of our estate Mongibello delle Mandorlaie in Southern Maremma.
Sangiovese 50 %, Cabernet sauvignon 25 %, Merlot 25 %. Ad Astra is an approachable yet simultaneously complex red wine that is also a true pleasure when enjoyed young. Opulent ruby red colour. Fascinating spice and chili character with blackcurrant and cherry fruit on the nose. Silky tannins and a fresh and elegant finish.
