Castello Nipozzano
Timeless beauty. Essence of Tuscany. With a medieval and Renaissance heart.
Castello Nipozzano, built in the year 1000, is located in the heart of the prestigious Chianti Rufina area, right on the mountainside overlooking the Arno River valley. Castello Nipozzano is the most famous and historic property of the Frescobaldi family. According to popular tradition, Nipozzano means “without a well”, testifying to the fact that the area was poor in water, an ideal circumstance for growing vines. A unique feature of the territory is due to the foresight of an enlightened ancestor of the Frescobaldis who in 1855 invested 1,000 silver florins to begin cultivating varieties that were then unknown in Tuscany, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot: after more than a century, the care of these magnificent vineyards allowed the production of the estate's great wine, Mormoreto.
