Frescobaldi Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva 2009
Tuscany, ItalyHistorically this wine ages gracefully and the '09 mix of Nipozzano at 90 percent sangiovese and ten percent malvasia nera, colorino, merlot and cabernet sauvignon is another fine candidate. Look for a spicy, wild berry nose with floral red fruit, smoke and complexing touch of mushroom and earth. After the tasting this was served to perfection with wild boar pasta and it was a perfect match. Tasted: 29 November 2013Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
