Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina DOCG 1,5 l Magnum - Castello di Nipozzano

The Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina 1.5 L Magnum, matured in the barrel from the Tuscan wine region, presents itself in the glass in a bright purple-red, ruby-red color. Slightly tilted, the red wine glass reveals a charming granate-red tone at the rims. By swirling the glass and allowing it to breathe slightly, one can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it neither appears watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. This Italian cuvée displays wonderfully noble and complex notes of blackberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, and Nashi pear. Additionally, there are hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and black tea.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with only 1.6 grams of residual sugar. As one can naturally expect from a wine in the Icon Wine segment, this Italian delights with exquisite balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require much sugar. Due to its vibrant fruity acidity, the Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina 1.5 L Magnum appears wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this well-matured red wine from the Tuscan wine region is ultimately distinguished by a notable aftertaste.
