Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend
Blueberries and bay leaves with a firm palate driven by both acid and fine tannins.

Jun 13th, 2022An 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

Nov 8th, 2021Sharpish with a floral undertone. Very good pairing to homemade sourdough pizza.

May 22nd, 2021Deep ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of ripe blackberry, black plum, black cherry, dried purple flowers, underbrush; dry, medium plus acid, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas, flavors more tart than the overripe aromas; medium finish, nothing about this wine says “Chianti” to me, very confusing
