Frescobaldi 2005 Nipozzano Chianti Riserva - Sangiovese Red Wine
Aug 7th, 2009 |
Red Wine by Frescobaldi from Italian, Italy. Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% others (Malvasia nera, Colorino, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon) The fragrances exhibit considerable complexity, opening to dark fruit such as plum and black currant, then enriched by a pungent spiciness that betrays cinnamon and clove. The attack offers dense, impressive pulp, and fine-grained tannins that marry beautifully with its alcohol; the result is a solidly-built, but not heavy or extractive, wine with a seamless, long-lingering finish.
