Frescobaldi Nipozzano Reserve750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Frescobaldi Nipozzano Riserva 750ml offers a vibrant, medium-bodied experience that shines at celebratory dinners or intimate gatherings. With an ABV of 13.5%, this Tuscan red is crafted in Italy’s Chianti Rufina region using primarily Sangiovese grapes, along with small amounts of Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged in oak barrels to enhance its structure and complexity.

On the palate, Frescobaldi Nipozzano Riserva reveals notes of ripe cherry, wild berries, and subtle hints of violet layered with touches of spice and tobacco from its time in oak. Its balanced acidity and fine tannins make it an excellent companion for roasted lamb or aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano, where the wine’s depth complements savory flavors while refreshing the palate between bites.
