The 2nd Wine of Christmas: 2003 Frescobaldi Nipozzano Riserva Chianti

Jacob Gaffney  in Red Wines, Chianti , , ,

For the next eleven days, InterWined.com is bringing you a new review from its Totally Awesome Christmas Cracker Wine Case, as it counts down the Twelve Wines of Christmas.

The 2003 Frescobaldi Nipozzano Riserva Chianti (12.5%) is a wonderful wine, with a medium red colour. The raw, red meat aroma is especially pleasing, as is the light oak and vanilla structure. The wine starts sweet and finishes dry. There is no tannin, but it’s still well balanced: 8.8 alone; 8.9 with a discounted mixed case.
