Chianti Rufina Riserva 2022 “Vecchie Viti” Nipozzano – Marchesi Frescobaldi An outstanding expression of Tuscan winemaking heritage, this Chianti Rufina Riserva “Vecchie Viti” 2022 comes from the historic Nipozzano estate, owned by the Frescobaldi family for over 700 years—one of the most iconic names in Italian wine. Sourced exclusively from old vines (25+ years), this cuvée represents the most concentrated and refined selection of Sangiovese from the estate. The unique microclimate of Rufina—cooler and more elevated than other Chianti areas—gives the wine exceptional elegance, freshness, and remarkable aging potential. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red color. The nose is layered and sophisticated, revealing aromas of ripe cherry, wild berries, and plum, followed by complex notes of spices, tobacco, and subtle toasted oak. On the palate, it is structured, refined, and beautifully balanced, with silky yet firm tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, persistent, and elegant, with a mineral touch that reflects its terroir. Carefully aged in oak to enhance complexity without overpowering the fruit, this is a wine that combines immediate drinkability with excellent cellaring potential. A highly collectible bottle from one of Tuscany’s most historic estates—ideal both for serious wine enthusiasts and investors. Perfect pairing: red meats, game, roasted dishes, aged cheeses.
