An ancient stronghold defending Florence since the year 1000, Castello di Nipozzano is the Frescobaldi family's most famous and historic property. According to popular tradition, Nipozzano means "without well," reflecting the area's lack of water, ideal conditions for growing grapes. The castle and winery are located east of Florence, in the heart of the prestigious Chianti Rufina region, right on the mountainside overlooking the Arno River valley. Thanks to the perfect balance of altitude, soil, and cool, breezy microclimate, the different grape varieties find ideal conditions for growth, allowing them to produce wines with a harmonious character and remarkable longevity. Chianti Rufina Riserva is one of the company's historic wines, a symbol of the Tuscan winemaking tradition: aged for approximately 24 months in second- and third-use barriques, it is a complex, intense, and refined wine, capable of maintaining a strong connection with the terroir.
