Black cherry and salvia. Soupy, short, and lacking cut. Perfectly fine, were it $9 entry-level Chianti...which it isn’t. Sadly, I’m expecting a lot of 2015s to be like this. #rufina#sangiovese#tuscany — 6 years ago
Just tasted this again on 12/20/18. A completely different wine: plush and deeply satisfying, with much more complexity in the nose (roast game & game juices) and superb texture and length. Makes me think the bottle I had previously was the victim of TCB, the kind of corked that renders bottles “dead” tasting. #rufina#sangiovese#tuscany
Lavender & violets, spiced red plum, moving to classic sour cherry. Fine well integrated tannins, minute long finish. Selvapiana are making great wines in #chianti#rufina — 9 years ago
Woodsy & old school. 1993, still tight & full of sour cherry & cranberry fruits. Wonderful length. Another stunning wine from Selvapiana in #chianti#rufina — 9 years ago
