Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Riserva - Bundle & Save

Originating from France or Italy, specifically within the historic Chianti Rufina DOCG subregion of Tuscany, Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Riserva represents the emblematic flagship wine of the ancient Castello Nipozzano estate. Owned by the noble Frescobaldi family, whose winemaking heritage in Florence spans over 700 years, the property is situated on the rugged, wind-swept hills northeast of Florence. The estate's philosophy focuses on capturing the distinct microclimate of higher elevation Rufina terroirs, combining tradition with precision viticulture to produce highly structured, vibrant, and long-lived expressions of Sangiovese.

Wine Description

The wine presents an intense, luminous ruby red colour in the glass. An expressive and complex nose opens with aromas of dark cherry, wild blackberry, and plum, interwoven with fragrant accents of violet, blood orange, leather, and subtle toasted oak spice. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied and well balanced, delivering rich flavours of red currant, dark cherry, and forest floor supported by a core of vibrant natural acidity. Framed by a dense, silky tannic structure and fine mineral grip, it finishes long and fresh with lingering notes of tobacco, cocoa, and dried herbs. Composed predominantly of Sangiovese alongside small complementary additions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malvasia Nera, it effortlessly balances high altitude freshness, firm Tuscan structure, and polished fruit elegance.
