2020 vintage.
90 % Sangiovese, 5 % Canaiolo Nero, 5 % Colorino….this is old school…and it’s good.
Owened by the Mariani Family since 1897 but has been agricultural since 1582.
Berries and cherries with leather and savoury notes with dried herbs.
Medium bodied with crisp tannins and licorice notes.
This wine is very food friendly.

Smokey blueberries (if there was such a thing), vanilla, coconut cream, licorice, beef jerky, and a subtle dill/mint note. Plums, blueberries, sour cherry with some toasty oak and black tea. Medium acidity and medium, slightly course tannins.
Really tasty stuff. Quite Rioja like which I enjoy. I'll be looking for Temp from this region in the future. — 2 years ago
High Level Chianti Rufina! Complex and long finale, but velvet, smooth tannins. Toasted wood, tobacco - all subtle but very present!! Fruit notes like lingonberry…

An entry level Rufina, but so QPR in a medium bodied 95 % Sangiovese 5% Colorino blend. Drank over 3 days, & it kept on giving. Dark red fruits like ripe plum with bay leaf in the background; medium acidity with a fantastically chewy mouthfeel, almost grainy. For 11$ & change on sale, high return QPR. Matched perfectly w roasted carrot & Brussel sprouts lasagna — 2 years ago
