Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage for Chianti has been rated with an excellent score of 95 points by Robert Parker. The wines from this vintage are still youthful and firm in tannins, indicating wonderful aging potential.

This red wine from Frescobaldi, called the Nipozzano Riserva, is a true masterpiece! Robert Parker regularly praises this wine. And yes, we agree, because this Nipozzano Riserva is produced at the Castello di Nipozzano winery and is part of the renowned Castelli (Estates) of the powerful Marchesi de' Frescobaldi winery. This is where the Nipozzano Riserva originates, a world-renowned wine that wins awards and prizes year after year. But these awards aren't the only reason this red wine is loved. Our former queen, too, has been a fan of this wine for years.

The old Chianti vineyard of Frescobaldi Nipozzano

The characteristic wine of Castello Nipozzano, Frescobaldi's historic estate, is located a few kilometers northeast of Florence. Nipozzano Riserva is a symbol of Tuscan wine tradition and is constantly striving to perfect everything. The old vineyard is now mature and produces a superb harvest. The Sangiovese matures very gradually and is harvested entirely by hand. Bunches are inspected and placed in small crates. These crates are then transported to Castello Nipozzano Frescobaldi, where they undergo a gentle pressing. The juice is phenomenal and is renowned in the Chianti region as outstanding.

Wood aging for the Nipozzano Chianti Riserva

The black juice obtained from the pressing is then aged for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels. This is an important period for this red wine, as it develops a wealth of aromas and flavors, and at the end of its life, it is entitled to the Riserva designation. The Riserva designation is granted only after the wine has been aged in oak for at least 24 months. The Nipozzano bottles are filled and then returned to the cellar for a few more months. The aging process is crucial for the Frescobaldi family, as they must uphold their reputation. Only when the wine is perfect can we, as wine lovers, enjoy it, and we do so with great pleasure.

Nipozzano Chianti Riserva in aromas and flavors

On the nose, this Nipozzano Riserva offers hints of black fruit, tobacco, chocolate, vanilla, oak, plums, and much more! The palate is enchanting, full-bodied, and robust with just the right tannins, a cheerfulness from the ripe black fruit, and, of course, powerful flavors of tobacco, spices, and oak.
