IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Elegant, airy, and fresh, Selvapiana’s 2016 Chianti Rufina bursts from the glass with a translucent garnet robe followed by classic Rufina aromas of smoky cherries, fresh rose petals, aged leather, tamari, and calcareous earth. Ample and graceful on the palate, the wine frames its laser-focused kernel of Morello cherry fruit with plentiful fine, chewy tannins and juicy acidity.

Notes of sweet tobacco, red miso, star anise, blood orange, and cloves join persistent, food-friendly tannins and resurgent waves of smoky minerality on the long, balanced, stylish finish. 

Bright ruby red in colour, with perfumes of ripe blackberry fruit, red cherry and touch of spice. On the palate it is ripe and juicy but still fine and elegant in the Selvapiana style, with a tight structure and lifted, floral finish with refreshing acidity.
