Nipozzano Vecchie Viti 2021
Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG

This wine, chosen by the Frescobaldi family to continue the tradition of reserving a Private Collection for its new-born family members, originates from the oldest vines at
Castello Nipozzano, which have a deep root system. Of great complexity and harmony,it is aged for 24 months in oak barrels according to the ancient Tuscan tradition.

Climatic trend
The year 2020 ended with an autumn in which the rainfall of the period was sufficient to replenish the groundwater tables. Winter 2021 was instead characterised by
moderate rainfall and mild temperatures. Spring was cool and dry initially, followed by a month of abundant rainfall in May that replenished the water reserves of the
countryside. A lack of rainfall in summer helped to balance the water stress of the vines and brought great richness of colour and aroma to the grapes. Beneficial rains,
followed by abundant hill breezes, allowed the grapes to conclude their ripening cycle in extraordinary elegance and perfect health. The 2021 vintage was a rich one in
which the spirit of the terroir emerged with great energy and vigour, allowing the production of wines that fully reflect the unique character of Nipozzano.

Vinification and ageing
The Sangiovese grapes and traditional complementary varieties were transferred to the cellar immediately after harvesting. Here, once destemmed, the spontaneous
fermentation process took place in concrete tanks, after which the wine remained in the vats to complete maceration. Its journey continued in wooden barrels, where the
wine remained to mature for the time necessary.The subsequent period in the bottle allowed a greater balance of all the components, making it possible to fully appreciate
its essence once the bottle was opened.

Tasting notes
Nipozzano Vecchie Viti 2021 has an intense and vibrant ruby-red colour. The bouquet is complex and elegant, with clear fruity and floral notes characteristic of the grape
varieties. The red and black fruit is accompanied by typical notes of sweet violet and rose. Its elegance is underlined by fresh balsamic notes and a delicate spiciness. In
the mouth, the acidic- alcoholic component is well-balanced, and the mature tannin caresses the palate, resulting in a lovely texture. An extremely elegant wine on the
whole, with a long and persistent finish.
