Castello Nipozzano (Frescobaldi)

A thousand-year-old castle that once guarded Florence, home of the Frescobaldi family's most famous wine. It sits in Chianti Rùfina, the smallest and highest Chianti subzone: cooler nights give a brighter, more fragrant Sangiovese than the Classico hills. Twenty minutes from Florence, with four rooms in the old olive press and private-cellar tastings.
