The wine

Chianti Rufina Riserva 2020: The Elegance of Lavacchio

I invite you to discover a gem of Tuscany, a wine that whispers the history of its terroir. This Chianti Rufina Riserva from Fattoria Lavacchio is a promise of sensory travel, an authentic expression of Sangiovese.

The beating heart of Chianti Rufina

We are here in the heart of Chianti Rufina, an appellation renowned for its clay soils that give the wines a remarkable structure and intensity. Fattoria Lavacchio, faithful to its principles, produces this wine using organic farming, respecting the land and its fruits. It is a pure Sangiovese, raised with care and passion.

This 2020 vintage, from a traditional fermentation with maceration on the skins, benefited from aging of at least 24 months in French oak barrels. This method allowed it to acquire a fascinating complexity and a harmonious balance. Its deep ruby red color is already an invitation. On the nose, you will be charmed by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, interlaced with nuances of sweet spices, chocolate and a subtle touch of tobacco, a legacy of its time in the barrel. On the palate, it reveals a richness and a full structure, with a powerful but refined attack, and a long, persistent finish that invites you to another sip.

An ideal table companion

This wine is an excellent choice to accompany rich dishes. Imagine it alongside grilled red meats, savory game or aged cheeses. It will enhance your meals and transform every bite into a moment of pure pleasure. It is the kind of bottle you keep for special occasions, or simply open to treat yourself, for a dinner with friends or a more intimate evening. It embodies Italian oenological excellence and promises you a memorable experience.
