Tradition, innate elegance and the essence of the Renaissance: Tuscany exudes an
aura of timelessness that has inspired generations of the Frescobaldi family and is
now an integral part of their vineyards. The Nipozzano Estate is located in one of the
traditional areas of Chianti: Chianti Rufina, which is the smallest and most elevated
Chianti sub-appellation. The 11th century castle is located in the heart of the
prestigious Chianti Rufina, which holds the family cellar including wines dating back
to 1864. The uniqueness of the Nipozzano terroir continues to produce wines with a
wide range of aromas and extraordinary longevity. Gambero Rosso awarded
Frescobaldi with the prestigious ‘Tre Bicchieri Winery of the Year Award 2020’, in
recognition of its uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation.
The vineyards of Nipozzano are situated approximately 20 miles to the east of
Florence. Located in the heart of the prestigious Chianti Rufina territory, the vines are
grown on a hillside that overlooks the valley and the River Arno. The combination of
altitude, soil type and a cool ventilated microclimate provides excellent conditions for
perfect growth and produces wines of harmonious character and great longevity.
