Frescobaldi Montesodi Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva 1997

Tuscany, ItalyA single vineyard Chianti from a great vintage. Beautiful integration everywhere with creamy, sage, leather and cocoa complexity and ripe plummy-prune fruit. It's full bodied, dense and driven by a great core of lime acidity yet softened around all the edges. Outstanding length. Best now to 2008. Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
