From the vinification of a large prevalence of Sangiovese grapes, to which are added complementary grapes such as Malvasia nera, Colorino, merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Nipozzano, a refined Tuscan estate produces this sensational historical wine of the company produced at the Nipozzano Castle which is located about 35 km north-east of Florence. It is the symbol of the Tuscan winemaking tradition; it is complex and maintains a precise link with the style of the territory. The origin is that of the Chianti Rùfina area where the Nipozzano Castle is located. Once crushed and destemmed, the grapes are placed in maceration for about 25 days, with frequent pumping over. The malolactic fermentation is left to take place immediately after the alcoholic one. Then follows an aging of 25 months where part of the wine ages in wooden barrels, part instead in stainless steel vats.

Characteristics
Appearance the purple-red color is clear. The bouquet is immediately brilliant and straightforward, with good intensity and complexity, where floral notes and clear hints of small red berried fruits such as raspberry, blackberry and blueberry prevail, followed by toasted and spicy notes of tea leaves, nutmeg and coffee. The taste is characterized by the entry into the mouth warm, soft and notably fresh. It is elegant and enveloping with fine tannins well integrated into the structure with a long and persistent finish.

Recommended pairings
A wine that lends itself in particular to pair with grilled red meat, roast lamb, slightly seasoned pecorino. The serving temperature is between 16° and 18°C.
