Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG “Nipozzano” 2021 – Frescobaldi

The Riserva “Nipozzano” is a Chianti Rufina that comes from a skillful blend assembled by the Frescobaldi winery team, where, alongside a 90% of Sangiovese, we also find small percentages of Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes of these varieties are grown within the Chianti Rufina area, in vineyards located at an altitude of between 250 and 500 meters above sea level, facing south-east; the terroir has an arid skeleton, composed of stones, limestone and clay. The grapes, once they arrive in the cellar rooms used for vinification, macerate for 25 days with frequent batonnage, carrying out both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Finally, the production process ends with the refinement, in which the wine rests for 24 months in barrique and then, after bottling, for another 3 months directly in glass.
