The wine

Nipozzano Montesodi: The soul of Chianti Rufina

Let me tell you the story of a wine that whispers Tuscany, a pure Sangiovese that transports you to the heart of its hills. This Chianti Rufina Riserva is not just a wine, it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a promise of unforgettable moments.

The exceptional terroir of Castello Nipozzano

We are here at Castello Nipozzano, in the Pelago region, near Florence. It is on the lands of this historic estate that this wine is born, coming from the Montesodi Vineyard, a privileged place where Sangiovese finds its noblest expression. Chianti Rufina, although smaller in area than other appellations, is renowned for the finesse and longevity of its wines, and Nipozzano is a proud ambassador of it.

This wine is 100% Sangiovese, carefully cultivated and hand-harvested. Vinification follows a precise process: after controlled fermentation, the wine undergoes maceration and malolactic fermentation, key steps to refine its structure. It is then aged for 18 months in wood, then refined in the bottle, allowing it to develop its full complexity. When tasting, its intense red color announces aromatic richness. On the nose, you will be charmed by notes of cherry, raspberry and plum, interlaced with sweet spices like cinnamon and vanilla, with a herbaceous touch of rosemary. On the palate, it reveals an elegant structure and a beautiful persistence, faithful to its heritage.

An ideal companion for your tables

This Chianti Rufina Riserva is the dream partner for your most flavorful meals. Imagine it alongside grilled red meats, a simmered game dish or fragrant roasts. It also elevates aged cheeses, creating a perfect pairing between the richness of the dish and the complexity of the wine. It is a wine to be served calmly, giving it time to fully express itself in your glass.

Whether for a special occasion, a party with friends or simply to treat yourself, this Montesodi is a safe bet. It is even available in Magnum format, an ideal option for sharing or for collectors, presented in an elegant wooden case. Let yourself be tempted by this Tuscan gem, it promises you an authentic and memorable experience.

A little tip from Tosco: this 100 % Sangiovese from the Montesodi vineyard has the right profile to accompany a roast or game; give it a bit of air before sitting down to eat.
