Tasting Notes
The Nipozzano Riserva presents a deep ruby red color with purple edges. On the nose, it opens with bold fruit aromas of wild blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, and dark cherry, followed by herbal notes of sage and rosemary, and the warmth of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate is equally complex, with the spiciness of black pepper, balsam, and cocoa powder making a lasting impression. The mid-palate reveals a smooth balance of warmth, roundedness, tannins, and acidity, all contributing to the wine's harmonious structure. The finish is long, persistent, and balanced, with a notable combination of fruit, spice, and freshness. The Nipozzano Riserva is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of Tuscan cuisine, such as pasta with rich tomato sauce, roasted meats, game, and medium-aged cheeses. Its balanced acidity and bold structure make it an excellent match for dishes with deep, savory flavors.
