Description
This is always terrific value. Made primarily from vines that are approaching 50 years old, this is a stunning wine that performs well above its modest price point.
“A firm and focused red with cherry, bark and hints of wood. Medium body, slightly chewy and a fresh finish. Attractive structure and balance.” – James Suckling
Emblematic wine from Castello Nipozzano, the historical Frescobaldi estate just a few kilometres north-east of Florence, Nipozzano Riserva is the symbol of the Tuscan wine-growing tradition and of the permanent link with the terroir.
Nipozzano 2018 has a marvellous balance of components. It has an intense ruby red colour. Its bouquet has hints of red and blackberries, such as black cherry, raspberry, blueberry and red and blackcurrants; these are followed by delicate citrus notes that add a lovely freshness. Even the floral hints characterize the profile of this wine with aromas that bring to mind violets and rosehip. In conclusion, the delicate bouquet of spicy notes of black pepper and balsamic notes, further enhance the sensation of an elegant freshness. The acidic-alcohol component is perfectly balanced on the palate. The tannic texture is present and is extremely elegant.
