  • Selvapiana 2016 Chianti Rùfina Vigneto Erchi

Chianti Rùfina, Tuscany
Red wine from Italy
Drinking window: 2023 – 2031

  • The 2016 Chianti Rùfina Vigneto Erchi is powerful, earthy and savory. There is plenty of power and structure, but not a lot of fruit, while the tannins are searing. This is an especially severe style, even within the realm of Rùfina. Macerated red cherry, iron, dried herbs, chalk, mint and white pepper open up in the glass, but only with great reluctance. It will be interesting to see if the 2016 opens up with time. Today, it is quite unyielding.

  • Selvapiana 2016 Chianti Rùfina Vigneto Bucerchiale

Chianti Rùfina, Tuscany
Red wine from Italy
Drinking window: 2022 – 2036

  • The 2016 Chianti Rùfina Vigneto Bucerchiale is a real standout. A wine of vertical explosiveness and energy, the 2016 Bucerchiale is deep, wonderfully defined and full of nuance. Macerated cherry, kirsch, sweet tobacco, licorice, menthol, chocolate and spice abound in this super-expressive, nuanced Chianti Rùfina. Expressive savory notes add the closing shades of nuance. This is a such a gorgeous and complete wine.
