Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored Sangiovese based wine from Frescobaldi opens with a moist pipe tobacco and red cherry bouquet with hints of wet stone and black tea. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, seamless, and approachable. The flavor profile is a tasty mild blackberry and black plum blend with notes of gentle tobacco and black cherry. I also detected hints of stone dust, black licorice, and blueberry. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and refined gentle tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this very versatile and food friendly Sangiovese with your favorite veal dish. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Nipozzano 2022 has an intense and vibrant ruby-red color. On the nose it presents delicate fruity hints that recall both red and black berries and the fresh sensations of citrus fruits, the bouquet then continues with a crescendo of flowers with notes reminiscent of violet and rose, followed by an elegant spiciness. On the palate, it is well-balanced, harmonious, fresh, fruity and mineral, with a dense and silky tannic texture. The finish is persistent with a fine taste-olfactory correspondence.
