2023 Selvapiana Chianti Rufina

WINEMAKER: Selvapiana Family
VARIETY: Sangiovese
REGION: Tuscany, Italy.

Selvapiana is a historic family-run estate in the Chianti Rufina DOCG, a cool, elevated subzone in Tuscany northeast of Florence, producing elegant, terroir-reflective Sangiovese-based wines since the 19th century. The 2023 Chianti Rufina shows a bright ruby-red colour with aromas of red cherry, cranberry and ripe berries edged by gentle spice and floral notes. On the palate it’s medium-bodied and lively, with juicy fruit, refreshing acidity and fine, balanced tannins that deliver a poised, classic Tuscan profile.

Critic tasting note: (2023 vintage) "Bright and fragrant with floral notes, red berries, orange peel and a touch of wild herbs. Linear and juicy with crunchy tannins and a crisp, citrus-laced finish. Drink now or hold." - James Suckling
