The Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG 2022, 13.5% ABV, 0.75 l, is a classic Tuscan red wine that impressively reflects the long tradition and elegance of the Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi estate. The Frescobaldi estate is one of Italy’s oldest and most renowned producers and has been synonymous with wines of the highest quality for centuries.


This Riserva is primarily based on the Sangiovese grape variety, complemented by small proportions of classic supplementary varieties such as Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes come from the vineyards surrounding the Castello di Nipozzano in the Chianti Rufina zone – one of the oldest and most prestigious wine-growing regions in Chianti. After harvest, the wine is vinified using traditional methods and then aged for 24 months in oak barrels, which imparts structure, depth and subtle spice. The 2022 vintage impresses with its elegance, complexity and a perfect balance of fruit, tannins and acidity.

Tasting Note

The Nipozzano Riserva 2022 displays an intense ruby red colour with garnet-red highlights in the glass.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, with velvety tannins, well-integrated acidity and a long, harmonious finish.

This Chianti Rufina Riserva is a versatile companion to Italian cuisine. It pairs superbly with pasta served with hearty meat sauces, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, lamb dishes or game. It also reveals its full potential when served with mature cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmigiano. When enjoyed in good company, it pairs wonderfully with antipasti featuring ham and salami. Served at 16–18 °C, it reveals its full elegance and turns every moment into an authentic Tuscan culinary experience.
