Chianti Rufina DOCG Riserva Nipozzano is a reserve red wine from the historic estate of the Frescobaldi winery. We are a few kilometres north-east of Florence, on land that is perfect for growing vines. A reserve wine made mostly from Sangiovese grapes, combined with other red grape varieties. The vinification that produces this wine takes place in stainless steel tanks, and only after malolactic fermentation is the wine aged in barriques. This Magnum format has an advantage over the standard wine, benefiting in terms of oxygenation and ageing. A ruby-red wine, which on the nose shows hints of red fruit, flowers such as rose and violet, on a spicy and mineral background. On the palate it is warm, fresh, savoury and balanced. A well-balanced sip that pairs well with dishes based on red meat, roast meats, and platters of cured meats and cheeses.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc.

SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS
Intense garnet ruby colour with evident violet reflections; a clean, broad nose with notes of small red fruits, pepper, chocolate and liquorice; a very harmonious palate with good structure and a very persistent, sweet finish.

The softness of Merlot, the substantial structure and intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by the lively personality of Sangiovese, create a unique blend that reflects the integrity and style inspired by the philosophy of Ornellaia. Vinification was carried out separately in small steel vats, respecting the different varietal characteristics during the fermentation stages. Alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel vats. Ageing lasted 10 months in 2- to 4-year-old barriques, previously used for ageing Ornellaia wine. The time spent in the small barrels allows the wine to improve its structure, softening the liveliness of the tannins.
10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 50% Sangiovese

In the Bolgheri area, where Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely grown variety, Campo al Mare stands out for its original use of a majority of Merlot, which gives the wine a softer, more enveloping character. The purple-red colour gives way to aromas of red fruits and spices, outlined by a vibrant balsamic note. On the palate it is velvety and enveloping, with a long finish.

The first wine to be released historically from the new winery in 2003, dedicated to Maurizio’s grandfather, who back in 1954 purchased the land in Bolgheri from Marchesa Incisa della Rocchetta. Emilio Primo Rosso is a pleasant wine with great potential. A typical Bolgheri blend in which the notes of Cabernet Sauvignon, the roundness of Merlot and the elegance of Syrah can be found, magically blended to create a wine that is enveloping, balanced and has a distinct personality.

A red colour of good intensity with violet reflections. It has hints of red fruit such as cherry and wild strawberries. On the palate it has good balance and elegance: the dense tannins are well harmonised with adequate structure and acidity.
Food pairings: suitable for red meats, including flavoursome ones, such as sliced beef. Excellent with porcini mushrooms. It also pairs well with cheese, including mature cheese.

The spicy note of Syrah is perceptible, as is the fruity, fragrant note of Merlot. Cabernet lends a balsamic character that completes the body of this wine, which is pleasant, with a silky, well-integrated tannin as well.

Pure Sangiovese from Maremma Tuscany in the Montecucco DOCG denomination, matured in toasted French oak barrels. A complex and structured wine thanks to the favourable soil and climate conditions of the Vigne a Porrona estate, which lies on the gentle hills at the foot of Mount Amiata, a few kilometres from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The 2018 vintage stands out for aromas of macerated spring mixed flowers, dried cherries, bark, espresso and ash, with spicy woody notes. Medium-full bodied with firm tannins. On the palate, great freshness and pleasant flavour with a savoury finish.

Made with only Sangiovese, Morellino di Vigne a Porrona is an example of how this grape can find its ideal home in Tuscany, absorbing the identity of each area where it is grown. This historic Maremma denomination gives us a wine with a youthful, fresh character, recognisable for its vinous profile with pronounced fruity notes and tannins that are present but never obvious.
The 2020 vintage brings vinous and cherry aromas to the nose with delicately ethereal nuances. On the palate it is balanced, with a persistent, savoury and dry finish.
