Product: 2017 Frescobaldi, Chianti, Rufina Montesodi Castello Nipozzano Riserv
Harvested by hand, the Sangiovese grapes that go into this wine come from Castello Nipozzano’s Montesodi vineyard. The wine is aged in a combination of French and Austrian oak for 15 months being bottled. It is intense ruby red in the glass, with powerful aromas of ripe red and black berries, plum, florals and sweet spice. The palate is balanced and elegant with silky smooth tannins and a long persistent finish. Nestled amongst the vineyards and hills of Chianti Rufina, 20 minutes from Florence, Castello Nipozzano is an historic estate dating back beyond the Renaissance. In 1855 an ancestor of the Frescobaldi family began to cultivate varieties previously unknown in Tuscany on the estate, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, which today go into the top wine, Mormoreto. They also produce a range of wines from the native Sangiovese variety. Food matches: Pairs well with roasted or grilled meats and aged cheeses.
