Emblematic wine from Castello Nipozzano, the historical Frescobaldi estate just a few kilometres north-east of Florence, Nipozzano Riserva is the symbol of Tuscan wine growing tradition and of the permanent link with the terroir.

Grape variety: Sangiovese and complementary varieties

Vinification: As soon as they were harvested, the grapes were immediately taken to the cellar. Once de-stemmed, the natural fermentation process began in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. The wine remained in the vats at the end to finish maceration. After racking, malolactic fermentation took place, still in steel. At the end of the year the wine was transferred into barriques, where it aged over the following months. A further period in the bottle enabled Nipozzano 2018 to express itself fully, making it a wine with exceptional expressive balance.

Tasting notes: Nipozzano 2018 has a marvellous balance of components. It has an intense ruby red colour. Its bouquet has hints of red and black berries, such as black cherry, raspberry, blueberry and red and blackcurrants; these are followed by delicate citrus notes that add a lovely freshness. Even the floral hints characterise the profile of this wine with aromas that bring to mind violets and rosehip. In conclusion, the delicate bouquet of spicy notes of black pepper and balsamic notes, further enhance the sensation of an elegant freshness. The acidic-alcohol component is perfectly balanced on the palate. The tannic texture is clearly present and is extremely elegant.

Food pairing: It goes particularly well with dishes with dark meat such as pork tenderloin, tartare, beef stew or racks of lamb. Also perfect with barbecue skewers, fegato and stews.

Alcohol content: 13.5 % vol.

Serve at 16°-18°C

Awards (2017): James Suckling: 92 Points, Gambero Rosso: 3 Glasses, Luca Maroni: 90 Points
