A firm and focused red with cherry, bark and hints of wood. Medium body, slightly chewy and a fresh finish. Attractive structure and balance. Drink or hold.

Earthy and mulchy, this Rufina Riserva from Frescobaldi's Nipozzano winery features succulent red and black berries surrounded by spicy cedar. Intense, with good freshness, it finishes with notes of wood, chocolate and balsam.

The 2020 Chianti Rufina Riserva is soft, fruity and very easy to like. A burst of sweet red cherry, blood orange, spice, mint and mocha makes a strong first impression. Silky, plush contours wrap it all together.
