Tenuta Elmata Nippi
Toscana Rosso
Explore the Tenuta Elmata, NIPPI - a true Sangiovese Toscana Rosso. Our philosophy for the NIPPI is to create an easy approachable characteristic red wine respecting the heart and soul of Tuscany. Nippi is a Sangiovese based wine which means an uncomplicated, but well structured wine. In the first vintage (2022) we blended in a small percentage of other local grapes, but we have given the Sangiovese the space to dominate. From the 2023 vintage we are keeping the Sangiovese dominance and are blending inn 5% each of our fantastic Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes from the breathtaking Colombaia plot close to the Villa. This leaves you with a sympathetic and fruit driven companion to both spicy dishes, meat and vegetables, and typical cold cuts from the region.
