The Frescobaldi winery is located in Tuscany, Italy.
A family business that produces very high quality wines for several generations.
In total, the family owns more than 7 wineries in Tuscany.
In addition to the famous Castello Nippozzano and Tenuta Castiglioni, Castello Pomino, Rèmole, Tenuta Perano, Castel Giocondo and Tenuta Ammiraglia were also part of the family estate.
The winter of 2013 was cold, with temperatures below zero and heavy, albeit sporadic, snowfalls.
Spring was cool, precipitation was well distributed. Water reserves were well replenished for the summer, when growth is at its peak and berries begin to ripen and change color.
Compared to the average, the summer was extremely fresh, with temperature peaks at the end of July and beginning of August, which favorably influenced the color change. The temperature fluctuations between day and night promoted gradual ripening. The favorable climatic conditions in September allowed the grapes to ripen evenly. The result was healthy grapes of excellent quality. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Nipozzano 2018 shines in a clean purple color. It is intense and complex. Initially, distinct aromas of raspberries, blackberries, currants and Amarena cherries are clearly noticeable, followed by citrus aromas, rose hips, black pepper and floral accents. In the mouth it reveals itself warm, soft and wonderfully fresh, also elegant and engaging. Its delicate tannins are well integrated into the structure. The finish is long, persistent and leaves a fruity aftertaste.
Grape varieties: Sangiovese, Malvasia, Colorino, Cabernet-Sauvignon.
Soil: sandstone.
Fermentation: stainless steel tank.
