Frescobaldi Castello Nipozzano Nipozzano Riserva 2022

Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG

November 18, 2025 - Nipozzano Riserva is a defining wine of the estate, capturing the essence of Chianti Rùfina. Primarily Sangiovese with complementary varieties, it reflects the region’s high elevations and unique climate. The name “Nipozzano,” meaning “without a well,” highlights the area's water scarcity, ideal for vine cultivation. Surrounded by mountains and fresh winds, the vineyards benefit from a significant day-night temperature variation, enhancing the wine’s complexity. The result is an incredible value from Frescobaldi.

Wine Spectator - October 31, 2025 "Dark cherry, plum, earth and tobacco flavors are enmeshed in the lush texture of this broad red. There are solid tannins and bright acidity for support as this fades on…

Attems Pinot Grigio 2024

Friuli DOC

November 05, 2025 - Attems Pinot Grigio epitomizes the spirit of Collio DOC, reflecting the unique terroir of Italy’s Friuli region. Low-yield, hand-harvested vines, planted in marl and sandstone soils cooled by the Bora winds, produce a wine that is energetic, terroir-driven, and elegant. Gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation preserve vibrancy, while four months of lees aging add texture. Aromas of white melon, cedar, and almond lead to a savory palate of toasted bread, white pepper, and green apple, carried by bright acidity and a crisp, clean finish.

Le Macchiole Paleo Bianco 2022

Toscana IGT

August 26, 2025 - Le Macchiole Paleo Bianco, first produced in 1991 in small quantities for a local restaurant, is a sophisticated blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Initially dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, recent vintages have seen a shift towards more Chardonnay. This high-end Italian white wine is silky and mineral-driven, fermented in oak barrels of varying sizes, and aged for six months. The result is a vibrant, fresh wine with distinct Mediterranean character, offering a perfect balance of richness and brightness that reflects the terroir of Bolgheri.

Vinous - December 10, 2024 "The 2022 Paleo Bianco (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc) is quite attractive. Hints of peach, tangerine oil and spice show the slightly exotic character of a warm, dry year, but without excess.…

Castello Pomino Pomino Bianco 2023

Pomino Bianco DOC

July 22, 2025 - Pomino Bianco is a refined Tuscan white from the historic Pomino estate, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco to reflect the elegance of the high-altitude vineyards. Crafted with a gentle pressing and fermentation in both steel and French oak, it maintains balance and complexity. The wine shows a shimmering straw yellow color, with aromas of citrus, pear, and green apple, complemented by floral notes of wisteria, chamomile, and hints of tropical fruit like pineapple. Crisp, mineral, and superbly balanced, it is a true expression of Tuscan terroir.

James Suckling - July 12, 2024 "A round, fruity and flavorful blend of chardonnay and pinot bianco. Aromas of sliced apples, dried lemons and wild herbs dominate on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and…

Castello Nipozzano Montesodi 2021

Chianti Classico DOCG

July 18, 2025 - Montesodi is the ultimate single-vineyard expression of Sangiovese at the Nipozzano estate, created in 1974 from the eponymous vineyard with particularly stony soils. A Terraelectae (single-vineyard) Chianti Rùfina, Montesodi showcases a lively and elegant expression of Sangiovese. Situated at 400 meters above sea level, with schist soils and a south-west exposure, the vineyard benefits from significant temperature shifts, contributing to the wine's complexity and remarkable longevity.

James Suckling - "Plenty of fruit, with light jam, cherries and hints of vanilla underneath it all. Full-bodied, layered and fruity. Not the most complex wine, but shows intensity and focus."
