Description

The Castello Nipozzano Montesodi Chianti Rufina Riserva is one of Frescobaldi’s most prestigious wines, crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown on the Montesodi vineyard, a prized plot within the Nipozzano estate. Situated at high altitude in Tuscany’s Chianti Rufina region, the vineyard benefits from cooler temperatures and mineral-rich soils, which impart structure, elegance, and complexity to the wine. This Riserva is a limited production, single-vineyard Chianti that reflects the unique terroir of Montesodi and the winemaking heritage of the Frescobaldi family. The wine is aged for 18 months in large oak barrels, followed by further refinement in the bottle, resulting in a deeply nuanced expression of Sangiovese.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, showcasing depth and concentration.

NOSE:
The aromatic profile is complex and intense, featuring ripe dark cherries, wild berries, and dried violets, accompanied by layers of cedar, tobacco, leather, and a hint of earthy minerality. Subtle spices, such as clove, nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging, add sophistication.

TASTE:
Full-bodied and velvety, the palate delivers a rich tapestry of flavors, including ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and wild plum, layered with savory notes of leather, herbs, and a hint of truffle. The tannins are firm but polished, providing structure and depth, while the vibrant acidity offers balance and freshness. The oak integration is seamless, adding complexity without overpowering the fruit.

FINISH:
Exceptionally long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality that showcase the wine’s potential for aging.

Food Pairing

The Castello Nipozzano Montesodi is best enjoyed with dishes that complement its depth and structure:

Grilled and roasted meats, such as T-bone steak, lamb chops, and venison
Rich pasta dishes, including wild mushroom risotto, pappardelle with truffle, or beef ragu
Game meats and stews, particularly with rosemary, thyme, or sage
Mature cheeses like aged Pecorino, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Gruyère
