Nipozzano 2022 has an intense and vibrant ruby-red color. On the nose it presents delicate fruity hints that recall both red and black berries and the fresh sensations of citrus fruits, the bouquet then continues with a crescendo of flowers with notes reminiscent of violet and rose, followed by an elegant spiciness. On the palate, it is well-balanced, harmonious, fresh, fruity and mineral, with a dense and silky tannic texture. The finish is persistent with a fine taste-olfactory correspondence

An emblematic wine from Castello Nipozzano, a historic Frescobaldi estate a few kilometers northeast of Florence, Nipozzano Riserva is a symbol of the Tuscan winemaking tradition and the indissoluble bond with terroir.

As soon as the grapes were harvested, they were immediately transferred to the cellar. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous fermentation process took place in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks, after which the wine remained in the vats to complete maceration. Following racking, malolactic fermentation took place, again in stainless steel. At the end of the year the wine was poured into barriques, where it matured over the following months. This additional period in the bottle allowed Nipozzano 2022 to express itself to the full, making it a wine of exceptional expressive balance. 

Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, cloves, sandalwood and rosemary. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and crispness giving it tension and brightness. Sangivoese with touches of malvasia and merlot. A sure bet for Tuscan red, with lower alcohol.
