Product Notes

Frescobaldi Castello Nipozzano Montesodi Toscana IGT is an elegant and complex red wine that is exclusively produced in an area surrounding the medieval castle of Nipozzano in Tuscany. It is made using the best Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards located at an elevation of 400-500 meters above sea level. The wine is aged for 18-24 months in French oak barrels, which adds a nuanced aroma of vanilla, spice, and chocolate to the blend. Its flavor profile is complex, with a refined balance of fruitiness, acidity, and fine tannins. This wine pairs well with rich and flavorful dishes, including roast meats, stews, and aged cheeses. Overall, Frescobaldi Castello Nipozzano Montesodi Toscana IGT is a sophisticated wine that is perfect for any special occasion.

Tasting Notes

The nose has the bold character typical of this vintage. Among the main descriptors, fruity notes begin with red and black berries, including raspberry, wild strawberry, black cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry. These are supported by sweet vanilla and rounded off with balsamic notes, pepper and cinnamon. The palate is well-rounded and sumptuously elegant; the alcohol and acidic content balance out perfectly. The tannins are smooth and well integrated.
