Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva Vecchie Viti 2022

Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva Vecchie Viti 2022 is a refined Tuscan red from the historic Castello Nipozzano estate, one of the defining names of Chianti Rufina. Made predominantly from Sangiovese and matured for two years in large oak casks, it combines the freshness of the region with elegant depth, finely integrated spice and impressive persistence.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a vibrant ruby-red colour with developing garnet nuances. Its bouquet opens with expressive floral and red-fruit aromas, where rosehip and violet are complemented by notes of small red berries. Subtle balsamic character and elegant toast add further complexity, while the oak remains beautifully integrated. On the palate, it is silky and well balanced, with fresh acidity and a refined tannic structure that provide both poise and length. The finish is long and persistent, bringing together delicate fruit, spice and balsamic tones. Enjoy now for its balance and elegance, or allow it to develop further in bottle over the coming years.

Production
The grapes are sourced from the historic Chianti Rufina area in Tuscany, where the region’s hillside vineyards help preserve freshness and structure in the wines. Harvesting takes place towards the end of September, followed by spontaneous fermentation in concrete tanks. The wine is then matured for 24 months in large 30-hectolitre oak casks before further bottle ageing, allowing the tannins, fruit and oak character to harmonise.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C, preferably after allowing the bottle to breathe. Decanting for around 30–60 minutes can help open the wine and soften its youthful structure. Its combination of acidity, silky tannins and savoury depth makes it an excellent partner for Tuscan-style roasts, grilled or braised meats, wild boar ragù, aged cheeses and hearty mushroom dishes.

Producer
Castello Nipozzano is the historic heart of Frescobaldi’s presence in Chianti Rufina, a Tuscan estate with roots reaching back centuries. The castle and its vineyards are closely associated with the identity of this distinctive appellation, known for producing Sangiovese-based wines with freshness, structure and longevity. The Vecchie Viti Riserva expresses the estate’s focus on combining traditional Tuscan character with careful, long-term maturation.
