Selvapiana Chianti Rufina 2024
From £24.95
Why Mark chose this
Selvapiana has been in the Giuntini family since 1827 and it's the benchmark name in Chianti Rufina. Rufina is the smallest Chianti zone and often the most elegant, thanks to the cool breezes down the Sieve Valley. This 2021 is classic Selvapiana: bright cherry, cranberry, violet and a firm but friendly structure. It's a proper food wine that won't tire you out over a long meal. Very good value for what it is.

Tasting Notes
The Rufina zone is the smallest in Chianti (about 600 hectares of vineyard) but also one of the most special. The cool breeze that blows down the Sieve Valley gives the best wines a finesse and definition that few in Chianti Classico can match, and there is no better producer in Rufina than Selvapiana, which has been in the family of Francesco Giuntini since 1827. This Chianti Rufina is bright ruby in colour with intense aromas of cherry, cranberry and violet. On the palate the wine is well structured, supported by ripe tannins and refreshing acidity.
