Chianti DOCG Rufina Riserva – Vigna Montesodi 2021 – Frescobaldi

The Vigna Montesodi 2021, produced by Frescobaldi at Castello Nipozzano, is a pure expression of Sangiovese from the historic Chianti Rufina terroir.

It shows a brilliant ruby red color with garnet reflections.

The nose is complex and elegant, offering aromas of ripe cherries, red plums, dried violets, and delicate notes of underbrush and sweet spices.

On the palate, it is vibrant and structured, with fine-grained tannins and a lively acidity that drives the wine forward. Flavors of sour cherry, licorice, and a touch of tobacco unfold seamlessly, leading to a long, savory finish.

Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak barrels, this Riserva beautifully balances tradition and precision, and will benefit from further bottle aging.
