Frescobaldi Castello di Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva 2010
Tuscany, ItalyNipozzano has always been a wine that rewarded patience. Peppery, black olive, tobacco, earthy, slightly meaty nose with some floral, black cherry and light herbal notes. The attack is fresh and juicy showing the elegant side of sangiovese with perfectly structured tannins. Black cherry, tobacco, spicy, black olive, earthy, licorice savoury gamey flavours. Fine intensity and length in a tighter style. Best now with food or cellar for five years.Tasted: 23 July 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
