Description
The Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rúfina Riserva GOLD EDITION DOCG 2020 in the 3x0.75-litre gift box comes from the traditional Castello Nipozzano, the historic heart of the winery, which is located around 35 kilometers north-east of Florence. The wine is produced in the renowned Chianti Rúfina area, one of the oldest and most prestigious sub-zones of Chianti, which is known for its elegant style and cooler microclimate. The cuvée is predominantly based on Sangiovese, supplemented by Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which together shape the complex structure and multi-layered character of this Riserva. After crushing and destemming, maceration takes place for around 25 days with regular pumping over before malolactic fermentation takes place directly after alcoholic fermentation. The subsequent 25-month maturation phase, which takes place partly in wooden barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks, gives the wine its depth, elegance and balance.
The GOLD EDITION represents the combination of tradition, origin and a stylistically clearly defined interpretation of Chianti Rúfina. Nipozzano is a symbol of Tuscan winemaking history and stands for a precise combination of grape variety identity, regional expressiveness and modern vinification. The 2020 vintage is purple in color, clear and brilliant, and is a particularly high-quality presentation for special occasions in this gift box. Thanks to its combination of origin, traditional vinification and fine cuvée structure, this Riserva is suitable both for immediate consumption and for ageing over several years.

Tasting notes:
A clear purple-red color in the glass. Bright, straightforward and complex aromas emerge on the nose: floral nuances, red berry fruits such as raspberry, blackberry and blueberry, followed by roasted and spicy hints of tea leaves, nutmeg and coffee. On the palate, the wine is warm, soft and at the same time fresh with an elegant structure. Fine tannins are harmoniously integrated and lead to a long, balanced finish.
The Nipozzano Chianti Rúfina Riserva GOLD EDITION 2020 is an excellent accompaniment to classic Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, ragù alla Toscana or braised leg of lamb. It is also an excellent accompaniment to spicy pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, braised beef or mature pecorino. The 3-bottle gift box also makes it a stylish choice for festive occasions, Christmas dinners or special celebrations where an elegant Chianti with a strong character is required. With its balanced structure and ageing potential, it accompanies both festive menus and quiet moments of enjoyment and offers a high-quality Tuscan interpretation of red wine in an appealing presentation.
