Description

Castello Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva is a celebrated expression from Frescobaldi’s historic Nipozzano estate, located in the Chianti Rufina sub-region of Tuscany. Known for producing refined, age-worthy wines, this Riserva reflects the heritage of both the estate and the Frescobaldi family’s winemaking expertise. Made predominantly from Sangiovese, this wine showcases the structure and elegance typical of the region, with a focus on rich fruit and balanced tannins. The higher altitude of the Rufina sub-region adds freshness and intensity to the wine, making it an enduring and elegant Tuscan classic.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Deep ruby red, with garnet highlights that deepen with age.

NOSE:
The nose is complex and layered, offering aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and plum, accented by hints of violet, leather, and earthy notes. Spices such as clove and black pepper, along with a touch of tobacco and subtle oak, add to its aromatic depth.

TASTE:
Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals flavors of dark cherry, red plum, and blackcurrant, underpinned by savory notes of herbs and a hint of minerality. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure, while the wine’s bright acidity adds freshness and balance. Notes of toasted oak and a touch of vanilla enhance the complexity, leading to a smooth and harmonious mouthfeel.

FINISH:
The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of ripe fruit, spice, and a touch of earthiness.
