Technical notes

Variety: Sangiovese and complementary varieties

Alcoholic Grade: 13.5%.

Vinification and maturation

The grapes, as soon as they were harvested, were immediately delivered to the winery. Here once destemmed, the

spontaneous fermentation process in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. At the end of this, the wine remained in the vats to

conclude maceration. Following racking, malo-lactic fermentation took place, again conducted in stainless steel.

At the end of the year, the wine was racked into barriques, where it matured for the next few months. The further period in

bottle allowed Nipozzano 2019 to express itself to the fullest, making it a wine of exceptional balanced

expression.

Tasting Notes

Nipozzano 2019 presents a vibrant ruby red color. The nose is characterized by fruity scents such as wild berries,

black cherry and elegant floral notes; wonderful freshness expressed through balsamic hints. This is followed by toasted notes and

spice of pepper, nutmeg and coffee. The palate is rich, characterized by elegant fruit density and freshness

mineral finish that make it balanced and persistent. The tannic texture is dense but not scratchy. Splendid the

taste-olfactory correspondence.
