From a large estate located in the Rufina sub-region, around 30km north-east of Florence. Making this Riserva style wine involves ageing the wine in oak barriques for a total of 24 months. The barrels are housed in the cellars of the Castello di Nipozzano. Deep & vibrant ruby red. The nose is a concentrated mixture of blackcurrant, raspberry, blueberry & black cherry, with intense cinnamon & leather spice. Firm tannins provide texture & grip. Partners well with the smoky flavours of barbecued meats, mature or smoked cheeses, or dry cured ham.
