Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva Vecchie Viti 2022

Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva Vecchie Viti is a refined expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most historic estates. Built on the strength of old vines and the elevated, cooler hills of Chianti Rufina, this Riserva combines floral brightness, ripe red fruit and a polished, savory structure that speaks clearly of its origin. Rooted in the legacy of Castello Nipozzano, it offers both regional character and the depth expected from a carefully matured Tuscan red.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, it shows a classic deep ruby colour with youthful vibrancy. The nose is elegant and layered, opening with rosehip and violet, then unfolding into small red berries, subtle spice, a touch of balsamic lift and a refined toasted note that adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit. On the palate, it is silky and well balanced, with a fine tannic texture and acidity that sits comfortably with the wine’s natural warmth. The finish is long and persistent, carrying notes of fruit, spice and a gentle savory edge. While already highly enjoyable, it has the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Viininvalmistus
This wine comes from Castello Nipozzano in the heart of Chianti Rufina, a zone known for its higher-altitude vineyards, cooler nights and soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic precision in Sangiovese. The grapes are harvested in late September, when they have reached balanced ripeness, and the blend is led by Sangiovese with supporting parcels of Canaiolo Nero, Colorino and Malvasia Nera. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in concrete tanks, followed by 24 months of ageing in 30-hectolitre oak casks and additional bottle ageing to refine the structure and bring greater harmony.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Riserva pairs beautifully with Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, roast pork, wild boar ragù, braised beef, mushroom risotto and aged pecorino. Serve it at 16–18°C to bring out its aromatic detail and texture. Decanting for around 30 minutes is recommended if enjoyed young, especially to let the floral and spicy notes open fully in the glass.
