Chianti Riserva Nipozzano is the symbol of the Tuscan winemaking tradition for Marchesi de ' Frescobaldi . A wine that comes from a skilful blend assembled by the team of the Marchesi de ' Frescobaldi winery, where, together with 90% Sangiovese, we also find small percentages of Malvasia Nera, Colorino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Once the grapes arrive in the cellar rooms used for vinification, they macerate for 25 days with frequent batonnage, carrying out both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Finally, the production process ends with aging, in which the wine rests for 24 months in barrique and then, after bottling, for another 3 months directly in glass.

The consumption of wine took place mainly on social occasions and took place according to precise rituals. Before the arrival of Greek fashion, which involved the use of a large vase for diluting wine with water and pouring it into large bowls (the kylikes), in Vetulonia typical local traditional vessels are used. This is testified, for example, by the vases found in the pit tomb of tumulus V of the necropolis of Santa Teresa, a locality located a few kilometers from San Germano dating back to 630 BC, the monumental kantharos was probably used to contain the wine that was then drawn and drunk through the bowls found around the large vase. Inspired by these researches and by the designs that decorate the great stamnos, we have created a limited series of Rocca di Frassinello magnum bottles with a special label depicting the Dionysian procession. The bottle is contained in a wooden case, decorated and handcrafted, which also contains two copies of the bucchero bowls. The historical value of the tombs and its findings linked to the consumption of wine is above all one: that the place was ideal for cultivating the vine, as it is today, already three thousand years ago.

Large format wines are a popular choice for special occasions and for wine collectors. They come in different sizes and offer a variety of benefits over standard bottles. In this article, we'll explore everything there is to know about large format wines, from the benefits to storage and purchase.
The advantages of large format wines
Large format wines offer numerous advantages compared to standard bottles. Firstly, most wines in large formats age better than in standard bottles. This is because the amount of oxygen entering the bottle is less than in standard bottles. Additionally, the greater quantity of wine in a single container means that temperature fluctuations are less significant, reducing the risk of damage to the wine.
Secondly, large format wines are an ideal choice for special occasions. A large bottle quickly becomes the center of attention and makes an impression on guests. Also, one large bottle is much easier to handle than many smaller bottles. For example, if you're hosting a dinner party for a large group, you can use a few large bottles to make serving easier.
Dimensions of large format wines
Large format wines are available in different sizes, each with a specific name:
Magnum : 1.5 litres, equal to two standard bottles
Jeroboam : 3 litres, equal to four standard bottles
Rehoboam : 4.5 litres, equal to six standard bottles
Methuselah : 6 litres, equal to eight standard bottles
Salmanazar : 9 litres, equal to twelve standard bottles
Balthazar : 12 litres, equal to sixteen standard bottles
Nebuchadnezzar : 15 litres, equal to twenty standard bottles
Conservation of large format wines
The conservation of large format wines is an important aspect to consider. Because these bottles are larger than standard bottles, storing them can be trickier. Most wineries don't have shelves or spaces suitable for large bottles, so you need to plan ahead.
Also, large bottles may take longer to adjust to the ambient temperature in which they are stored. To avoid sudden changes in temperature, it is important to store large bottles in a cool, dry place.
Purchase of large format wines
Buying large format wines can be an excellent choice for wine collectors and for special occasions. However, it is important to pay attention to the origin of the bottles. Large bottles can be more susceptible to counterfeiting than standard bottles, so it's important to buy from reputable, reputable sellers.
What are wines in large formats?
Large format wines are bottles of wine that have a higher capacity than the classic 750 ml bottles. There are a number of larger wine bottle sizes including the Magnum (1.5 litres), Double Magnum (3 litres), Jeroboam (4.5 litres), Rehoboam (4.5 litres), Methuselah ( 6 litres), the Salmanazar (9 litres), the Balthazar (12 litres) and the Nebuchodonosor (15 litres).
Why choose wines in large formats?
There are many reasons to choose a bottle of wine in a larger format than the classic 750ml bottles. Firstly, wine in large formats has greater stability than standard bottles, thanks to the greater quantity of wine present in the bottle and the lower quantity of air that comes into contact with the wine.
Secondly, wines in large formats have a slower evolution, which means they can be kept for a longer period without undergoing any alteration. Furthermore, these wines have greater harmony and balance than standard bottles, thanks to the greater contact surface between the wine and the cork.
Finally, wines in large formats are ideal for special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays or corporate events, because they have a greater visual impact and are able to satisfy the palate of a greater number of people.
How to choose a large format wine?
Choosing a large format wine depends on the type of wine and personal needs. In general, the wines best suited to larger formats are those that require a longer aging period, such as structured red wines, complex white wines or sweet dessert wines.
Furthermore, it is important to choose a high quality wine, because the greater quantity of wine present in the bottle also increases the possibility that any defects will appear. It is therefore important to buy wines in large formats from reliable retailers who offer guarantees on the quality of the wine and its conservation.
Finally, it is important to consider the number of people who will participate in the event, in order to choose the right bottle format. For example, a bottle of Magnum (1.5 litres) is enough for around 10 people, while a bottle of Balthazar (12 litres) can cater for up to 100 people.
In conclusion, wines in large formats are an excellent choice for special occasions and for wine collectors, thanks to their greater stability, their ability to evolve more slowly and their ability to satisfy the palate of a greater number of people.
