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."
