Nipozzano Riserva 2020

The history of the Frescobaldi family dates back to medieval Florence and Tuscany, greatly influencing their history for centuries to come. Patrons were responsible for the construction of the Santa Trinità bridge in Florence and the Basilica Santo Spirito, and the works of the famous musician of the 1700s Girolamo Frescobaldi conquered the whole Europe. In the world of wine they were considerably influential since 1855, introducing transalpine vines in Tuscany such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, and making a decisive contribution to the development and notoriety of Tuscan viticulture. Today, in the numerous estates owned by the Frescobaldi family, wine is produced with great attention to the terroir of origin, respect for the diversity of the territories, environmental sustainability and the promotion of Tuscan culture through each single label and the countless experiences to be lived at each individual estate.

The Nipozzano Riserva 2016 embodies an extraordinary vintage, characterized by an ideal climate for obtaining excellent wines. The grapes harvested in September are immediately transported to the cellar where the spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, where the maceration and malolactic fermentation is subsequently carried out in steel. The refinement took place in barriques for about 24 months, followed by further refinement in the bottle. The result is a wine with a strong personality and great balance.
