Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina DOCG is one of the historic wines produced at the Castello di Nipozzano. This wine always retains its close relationship with the Castello di Nipozzano terroir. Nipozzano 2009 is a lovely ruby-red. The nose opens with dark wild berries & cherry, hints of candy floss & pleasant floral notes of lilac & chocolate. The spicy component emerges with nuances of clove & green peppercorn. The palate is characterized by a distinct tactile approach in which the stamp of the terroir is underlined by a lively minerality. The tannin texture is tight but not sharp which is also an expression of the uniqueness of the soils of Nipozzano. The finish returns to the intense fruity notes already identified on the nose.
