Nipozzano Vecchie Viti 2013 is an intense ruby red that introduces a bouquet of floral bergamot and orange balanced with spiced scents of coffee powder and jasmine tea. When tasted it is balanced, complex, fresh and persistent. The tannins blend well with the body resulting in a wine that is silky and harmonious. The wine’s acidic component is noteworthy and joins elegantly with the alcoholic content. Raspberries and a light liCorice note joined by juniper berries leave a distinctive finish. Vecchie Viti easily brings out the best qualities in the classic Tuscan ribollita soup, pappardelle in wild boar sauce, and meat-filled cannelloni; it is outstanding with baked meats and roasts. 

Very tight and refined with a linear structure and precision. Medium body, fine tannins and plenty of berry, tea leaf and lemon rind flavors. Pretty and focused. Delicious as always. Drink now.

The 2013 Chianti Rufina Riserva Nipozzano Vecchie Viti is elegant and sophisticated with mild and somewhat tame intensity all the while. This wine hits all the right sweet spots as a food-friendly Tuscan red that would taste great next to pasta with wild boar ragù. I enjoyed the linearity, honesty and the straightforward nature of this wine.
