Description

Chianti Rufina Riserva Montesodi Frescobaldi, comes from this plot of land, known to all as the Montesodi Vineyard, which lies at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level, on schistous soils with a magnificent south-westerly exposure, where this first Cru of Castello Nipozzano was created in 1974. According to Lamberto Frescobaldi, who now heads the family estate, this wine represents his youth and is part of his fondest memories at Castello Nipozzano, a wine of extreme elegance and vivacity, capable of moving me even after decades.

Vinification
After careful work in the vineyard, the grapes were harvested by hand and transported in 15 kg crates. Further care and selection was taken in the cellar, where on arrival the grapes were carefully checked on a sorting table. Berry by berry, only the highest quality was selected in terms of polyphenolic substances and grape health. This harvest produced finely concentrated, beautifully ripe grapes with a wonderful burst of freshness. Fermentation and maceration were regular. Malolactic fermentation took place immediately after racking.

Refinement
At the end of the year, the traditional maturing process began in 30 hl Austrian and French oak barrels, where it remained for the next 18 months until bottling. Subsequent months of bottle ageing allowed it to express its full elegance and potential.

Tasting Notes In the glass it has a wonderful bright ruby red colour. The impact on the nose is exciting, characterised by fruity notes reminiscent of redcurrants and wild strawberries. This is followed by floral notes, fresh balsamic hints and an elegant spiciness reminiscent of liquorice and cloves. The sip is dynamic, the minerality and freshness are accompanied by a dense and slightly rough tannic texture, typical of the grape variety. A wine that impresses for its complexity and extreme elegance at the same time. Long in the finish.
Pairing Advice
Pairing A worthy companion throughout a meal, it is excellent with short-cooked red meats, and goes wonderfully with the classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina.
