Nipozzano Riserva represents the emblem of the Tuscan wine tradition and its strong link with the local terroir. The 2020 vintage enhances the peculiarities of this exceptional terroir thanks to a marked acidity and a significant sugar content.

Once the must has been obtained through delicate pressing of the grapes, fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers. Subsequently, the wine is transferred to oak barrels, where it matures for a total period of 24 months. At the end of this process, the Riserva is bottled and subsequently refined in glass for a further 3 months before being ready to be introduced on the market.

The wine has a medium intensity, brilliant ruby red color and transparent. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of berries and corns, followed by floral notes of violet. The fresh and balsamic aroma is pleasantly enriched with spicy hints of pepper, nutmeg and coffee.

In the mouth, the wine is gratifying, harmonious, fresh, fruity and mineral, with a dense and velvety tannic structure. The finish is pleasantly persistent and balanced, offering a harmonious combination of its different components.

The harmony between the aroma and the flavor is remarkable, and surprises with its extraordinary pleasantness, suitable for a vast and varied audience of consumers.
