The Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rúfina Riserva GOLD EDITION DOCG 2020, presented in a 3 x 0.75-litre gift box, comes from the time-honoured Castello Nipozzano, the historic heart of the estate, which lies around 35 kilometres north-east of Florence. The wine is produced in the renowned Chianti Rúfina region, one of the oldest and most prestigious sub-zones of Chianti, known for its elegant style and cooler microclimate. The cuvée is predominantly based on Sangiovese, complemented by Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which together define the complex structure and multi-layered character of this Riserva. After crushing and destemming, the grapes undergo a maceration period of around 25 days with regular pumping over, before malolactic fermentation takes place immediately following alcoholic fermentation. The subsequent 25-month ageing period, which takes place partly in wooden barrels and partly in stainless-steel tanks, lends the wine its depth, elegance and balance.


The GOLD EDITION embodies the fusion of tradition, terroir and a stylistically well-defined interpretation of Chianti Rufina. Nipozzano is regarded as a symbol of Tuscan wine-growing history and represents a precise blend of varietal identity, regional character and modern winemaking techniques. The 2020 vintage presents a purple-red colour, clear and brilliant, and in this gift box makes for a particularly high-quality presentation for special occasions. Thanks to its combination of terroir, traditional ageing and a refined cuvée structure, this Riserva is suitable both for immediate enjoyment and for several years’ ageing.
