Tasting Notes: This ruby-red Sangiovese blend opens with an intense aromatic profile of wild blackberry, dark cherry, and redcurrant, accented by sophisticated floral notes of violet and rose. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and well-structured, characterized by a dense yet silky tannic frame that integrates seamlessly with flavors of cloves, rosemary, and a distinct mineral quality. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving behind lingering traces of tobacco and savory herbs while maintaining a vibrant, refreshing lift.
Estate History: Castello di Nipozzano is a historic fortress located in the heart of the Chianti Rufina territory, serving as the ancestral stronghold of the Frescobaldi family for over 700 years. Originally built in the year 1000 as a defensive structure, the estate has long been celebrated for its viticulture; records indicate that Renaissance artists such as Donatello often purchased wine from this specific property. The name "Nipozzano" translates to "without wells," a reference to the arid, stony soil conditions that force vines to grow deep, resulting in the concentrated and elegant fruit that defines the estate's world-renowned Riserva.
