Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG
Nipozzano Riserva is a defining wine of the estate, capturing the essence of Chianti Rùfina. Primarily Sangiovese with complementary varieties, it reflects the region’s high elevations and unique climate. The name “Nipozzano,” meaning “without a well,” highlights the area's water scarcity, ideal for vine cultivation. Surrounded by mountains and fresh winds, the vineyards benefit from a significant day-night temperature variation, enhancing the wine’s complexity. The result is an incredible value from Frescobaldi.

Chianti Rùfina, Italy
Castello Nipozzano’s renown was documented during the Renaissance, when famed artists like Donatello and Michelozzo Michelozzi made regular purchases from the estate. In 1855, the Frescobaldi family began cultivating new varieties then-foreign to Tuscan soils at the estate – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Rùfina is notable because of its altitude, which in addition to creating wines of freshness, allows a slower, drawn out ripening that results in wines with a beautiful concentration in the mid-palate and polished tannins.
