Description

Frescobaldi's Chianti Nipozzano Vecchie Viti 2012 is an elegant and structured wine, the result of a selection of the best grapes from old Sangiovese vines, along with a small contribution of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 24 months in oak barrels, this wine best expresses the character of the Tuscan territory, with notes of ripe red fruit, spices and a pleasant minerality. The long evolution in the bottle enriches the wine with complex nuances and an excellent capacity for aging.
