2019 FRESCOBALDI NIPOZZANO CHIANTI RUFINA RISERVA

2019 FRESCOBALDI NIPOZZANO CHIANTI RUFINA RISERVA, TUSCANY, ITALY. Predominantly Sangiovese with small portions of Malvasia nera, Colorino, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

One of Italy's oldest wineries, the Nipozzano castle is situated in the heart of the prestigious Chianti Rufina territory overlooking the Arno River. The history of the Frescobaldi family starts over a thousand years ago and is closely connected with the history of Tuscany. They began producing wine in Tuscany in 1308 and would often trade their wine in exchange for art, most famously with Renaissance painter Michelangelo. Today they are recognized as the a leader in modernizing and advancing Tuscany's wine industry as a whole. This is a traditional blend based on Sangiovese with small portions of Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon and represents a terrific value for the money.

About: The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of Italy's oldest wineries, with a history dating to the 1300s. The family has included medieval knights, bankers, lawyers and patrons of the arts. The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of the most significant wine producers in Italy, with nine estates—and roughly 2,500 acres—in Tuscany. The family has been growing wine since the late 19th century, when they became the first in Tuscany to import and plant French vine cuttings. Because they have been producing wines for more than 700 years, to experience Frescobaldi is to glimpse the history of Florence, from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Wine Spectator has ranked many of their offerings in the 90s and their wines are consistently listed in the magazine's Top 100 Wines of the Year, encouraging wine enthusiasts from around the globe to become familiar with some of Italy's finest wines. (Winery)
