More questions
In the heart of the historic Chianti Rufina area, the Nipozzano Oro of Frescobaldi represents a refined expression of the Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG denomination. This red is born from a careful selection of Sangiovese, the symbol grape of the Tuscan territory, and from an aging process that involves long months in oak barrels, giving the wine an elegant and complex structure.
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color, enlivened by garnet reflections; the bouquet is wide, with notes of ripe red fruits, cherry, accompanied by spicy and slightly toasted scents due to the aging in wood. On the palate, it reveals a perfect balance between freshness and softness, well-integrated tannins, and an enveloping persistence.
Perfect to accompany robust dishes such as roasted meats or aged cheeses, this Chianti Rufina Riserva is a refined ambassador of the Tuscan winemaking tradition.
