Tasting notes
Rich, powerful and nicely layered in the glass, Nipozzano's 2013 Montesodi is a delicious wine that captures the essence of the house style. Sweet tobacco, licorice and smoke nuances shape the dark, textured finish. Give this powerful Sangiovese a few years in bottle and drink it over the next decade or so.

This is the third year that this wine is an IGT Toscana (and no longer a Chianti Rufina). The 2013 Montesodi is a solid and well-constructed red wine with dark berry fruit, cassis and spice offered with seamless integration. The wine is sturdy, but never heavy, and it offers a generous taste of Tuscany yet with a certain level of timid reserve. The effect is very inviting.
