The 2008 Chianti Rufina is simply delicious even if 2008 isn’t a particularly strong year. Flowers, mint, red berries and spices come together beautifully in this elegant, Burgundian Chianti. Selvapiana’s Chianti Rufina is a reliably excellent value in Tuscany. In its very finest vintages the estate’s Chianti Rufina routinely challenges wines costing much more. This is one of the hidden gems in traditionally styled Chianti. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-5405
