Summer pizzas and this with a slight chill 😎 Medium bodied, earthy, showing some rustic and charmingly delicious tertiary notes. Everything is really harmonious and integrated, a rounder expression of Chianti Classico thats components have blended together very nicely. Mix of fresh and dried Morello cherry, old leather, cloves (noticeable and positive brettanomyces character), wilted violets, fennel, sassafras, warm earth. Again, C.Classico crushing it in the QPR category

Killer! Earthy, herbal, and a hint of funk paired with ripe cherry.

As I recall, it was a 90 pt wine which requires patience.

Tannins just starting to wain. This could've been aged for alot longer, my sangiovese craving wouldn't abide the dilly dallying. Robustness coupled with grace for a balanced pirouette. For the long haul

I think this is the best Chianti Rufina out there. I have had it many times over the years and it always delivers. Almost floral, but in a good way with nice bite.

Really nice, funky undertones with a clean finish. Great balance. Had a nice lush front to balance the tannins.

Beautiful wine from Selvapiana. Nose opens with wild cherry, leather, licorice, and truffle. A subtle intensity underlies the silky mouthfeel and long finish. I’ve always liked this wine and the 2013 is one of the best. 2013 vintage on March 2, 2019
