Imagine on your palate red berries, sour cherry, and dried plum, with a fresh and spicy finish, and the faint aroma of indescribable fruit. Not too citrusy but more pulpy, with bouquets of black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, redcurrants, and blackcurrants. If that sounds like the beginning of an off-kilter recipe for a pie, it’s not, but the nose notes on the Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina DOCG, a legendary wine produced at Castello di Nipozzano.
Its ruby-red colour makes for an elegant pour; as you turn the stem, the rich blush of red eases into the wine glass, and a fine nose can detect abundant aromas. A heady mix of the finest grape—Sangiovese, Colorino, and Cabernet Sauvignon—the varietals make for a smooth sip. It’s one of the finer entry-level wines from Frescobaldi; the Nipozzano has a marvellous balance and a lovely freshness evoked from the floral hints—violets and rosehip—characterises the profile of this wine. It’s hard to believe this refined and excellent wine is but a mere introduction to the flight that Frescobaldi offers.
