TENUTA DEL NICCHIO LE 2 VILLE TOSCANA IGT by Lodovico Antinori
“Le 2 Ville” is a red wine made from the grapes not used for “Il Nicchio,” with the addition of about 20% of the excellent Ciliegiolo grape. This original blend creates an appealing wine, easy to drink on all occasions and in all seasons. This is, in fact, the first vintage
in which “Le 2 Ville” is officially presented, marking a new step in the journey of Tenuta del Nicchio. The name “Le 2 Ville” is inspired by an old estate of the della Gherardesca family, located next to the Nicchio estate, in the high hills between the provinces of Pisa and Livorno.
