The wine

Montesodi Riserva: The Soul of Sangiovese in Chianti Rufina

When I think of authentic Tuscany, I think of wines that tell a story, that of a terroir and a craft. This Chianti Rufina Riserva Montesodi from Nipozzano is precisely one of those, a pure expression of Sangiovese that transports you straight to the heart of the Florentine countryside.

Castello Nipozzano: A Terroir of Altitude and Elegance

The Nipozzano estate, located in Pelago, is an institution in the Chianti Rufina region, an appellation renowned for its high-altitude wines. It is here, on the slopes of the Vigneto Montesodi, that this exceptional Sangiovese takes root. The vineyard work is meticulous, with harvests carried out by hand, guaranteeing the selection of the best clusters.

At first glance, its color will seduce you with its deep red. On the nose, you will discover a complex and captivating bouquet, where delicate notes of rose and violet mingle with fruitier aromas of blackcurrant and raspberry. But what makes it truly unique are those subtle, almost blood-like and balsamic touches, which give it a fascinating depth. On the palate, it reveals all its structure and elegance, the fruit and freshness balancing each other perfectly, testifying to careful aging. After fermentation and maceration, it benefited from 18 months of aging in barrels, followed by bottle refinement that allowed it to reach this harmony.

Tuscan Pairings: The Revealing Table

This Chianti Rufina Riserva Montesodi is an ideal companion for moments of sharing and meals that matter. I particularly recommend it with robust dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside a beautiful bistecca alla fiorentina, where its structure will balance the richness of the meat. It will also be magnificent with grilled red meats or a pecorino stagionato, whose intense flavors will echo its complexity. This is a wine that invites conviviality, perfect for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself and travel to Tuscany for the length of a glass.

⚠️ Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health — consume in moderation. Sale prohibited to minors.

The Montesodi is a Rufina Sangiovese with real backbone: its high-altitude slopes in Pelago make it a good partner for a bistecca alla fiorentina. And if you want to go all in on the Tuscan theme, add a well-aged pecorino.
