Comment on noteThe wine
Today I'm taking you to the heart of a more secret Tuscany, that of Chianti Rufina, where the Nipozzano estate signs a wine that embodies elegance and depth. It is an invitation to discover a red that whispers the history of its land, a sensory experience that will leave its mark on you.
This wine was born in the Zona del Chianti Rufina, an appellation nestled northeast of Florence, renowned for its high-altitude terroirs that give the wines a singular freshness and complexity. The Nipozzano estate, with its rich history and ancestral know-how, grows Sangiovese there, the king of Tuscan grape varieties, which makes up 90% of the blend here. It is complemented by a touch of Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, each bringing their own nuance to this symphony.
The vinification of this Chianti Rufina Riserva begins with spontaneous fermentation in steel tanks, followed by careful maceration and malolactic fermentation, also in steel. The wine is then aged for 24 months in barriques, a period during which it gains structure and aromatic complexity, before continuing its refinement in the bottle. Its color is an intense red, promising beautiful depth. On the nose, you will be charmed by delicate floral notes and fruity aromas, interwoven with spices such as nutmeg and clove, with a hint of coffee that adds to its complexity. On the palate, it offers beautiful structure, an elegance that reveals the nuances perceived on the nose, with a persistence that invites tasting.
This Chianti Rufina Riserva from Nipozzano is the perfect companion for gourmet moments. I recommend it with red meats, whether grilled or roasted, a braised lamb or aged cheeses. Picture it on your table, during a dinner with friends or to celebrate a special occasion. It will enhance your dishes and create a warm atmosphere. It is a wine to be shared, one that tells a story — that of an authentic and passionate Tuscany.
