Product Notes

Frescobaldi Castello Nipozzano Vecchie Viti Chianti Rúfina Riserva DOCG is a distinguished Italian wine from the revered Chianti Rúfina region. It's created from the oldest vines on the Nipozzano estate, giving it an exceptional intensity and depth of character. This wine has delicate aromas of ripe red fruits, floral undertones, and subtle hints of spice. The palate offers a harmonious blend of soft tannins and balanced acidity, giving way to a lingering, sophisticated finish. A true symbol of Tuscan heritage, it is perfect to savour with traditional Italian dishes. This is a majestic, full-bodied red with a refined, luxurious taste profile.

Tasting Notes

A radiant ruby-red colour. Among the main descriptors, fruity notes begin with red and black berries, including raspberry, wild strawberry, black cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry. These are supported by sweet vanilla and rounded off with balsamic notes, pepper and cinnamon. The palate is well-rounded and sumptuously elegant; the alcohol and acidic content balance out perfectly. The after-taste is fruity with a hint of juniper berry. The mineral finish is long and juicy.
