Tasting notes
Frescobaldi's 2010 Chianti Rufina Riserva Nipozzano is a fairly bold, powerful wine for the year and appellation. Dark red berries, smoke, licorice and spices all blossom in the glass in this racy, broad-shouldered wine. I would prefer to drink the 2010 sooner rather than later, while the fruit retains its vibrancy.

The 2010 Chianti Rufina Nipozzano Riserva shows great balance and purity with bright fruit tones of plum, blackberry and sweet spice. It's an easy-drinking expression that would pair with pasta and wild boar sauce or roast beef. A bright point of acidity helps to keep the palate refreshed. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.
