Castello Nipozzano - Chianti Rùfina Riserva 2019
The Refined Elegance of Chianti

Made predominantly from Sangiovese grapes with a touch of Merlot and Canaiolo, this Riserva offers a blend of traditional winemaking and modern elegance. It sets itself apart with its delicate balance of flavors and aromas, embodying the character of the Chianti Rùfina region.
This wine is a prime example of the finesse that Chianti Rùfina is known for. Its profile is marked by a vibrant ruby-red color and a complex bouquet that includes fruity hints of berries and black cherry, complemented by elegant floral notes. Balsamic nuances add a fresh quality, followed by roasted and spiced notes of pepper, nutmeg, and coffee. On the palate, it exhibits a rich texture balanced with a mineral freshness and persistent finish. The tannins are dense yet refined, mirroring the taste and aroma beautifully.
Castello Nipozzano Chianti Rùfina Riserva 2019 has been recognized for its quality, ranking #2 in the Top 25 Italian Chianti wines in Texas. It has also garnered praise from wine critics, with a 92 rating from James Suckling and a 91 rating from Wine Enthusiast.
Produced by Frescobaldi, a name synonymous with Tuscan winemaking, this wine is a testament to their long-standing tradition and expertise. Castello Nipozzano, the largest producer in Chianti Rùfina, is situated in the foothills of the Apennines, where the mountains exert a cooling influence, resulting in a fresher, lighter, and less structured style of Chianti when compared to Classico wines. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to barriques, with additional aging in the bottle before release.
Its balance of fruit, spice, and acidity makes it an excellent companion to Italian cuisine, particularly dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.

The ruby-red color and consistent texture of this wine are truly admirable. The palate is embraced by a warm and smooth sensation, leaving your taste buds adoring the sweet notes of cotton candy and the spicy hints of cloves and nutmeg. The dense yet gentle tannins create a toothsome temptation, resulting in a remarkable taste-olfactory correspondence.
