Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover an authentic expression of Tuscany, a wine that whispers the history of its terroir. The Chianti Rufina Riserva 2020 from the Frescobaldi estate is far more than a bottle; it is an encounter with elegance and depth. Let me guide you through its secrets.
This wine comes from the Chianti Rufina appellation, a specific zone within the greater Chianti region, renowned for its characterful wines. The Frescobaldi estate, whose history is rooted in the Tuscan landscape for centuries, passionately cultivates Sangiovese there, the sole grape variety that makes up this Riserva. The 2020 vintage, in particular, managed to capture the essence of this terroir thanks to marked acidity and sugar richness, promising beautiful complexity.
The vinification of this Sangiovese begins with traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks after a delicate pressing of the grapes. This is followed by a long maceration, essential for extracting color and tannins. The wine is then transferred to oak barrels where it matures for 24 months, a crucial period for its development. After bottling, it benefits from an additional three months of refinement in glass, allowing it to reach its full balance before being offered.
In your glass, this Chianti Rufina Riserva reveals itself with a ruby red robe of medium intensity, brilliant and transparent, inviting tasting. On the nose, you will be charmed by intense aromas of forest fruits and bigarreau cherries, quickly joined by floral notes of violet. A balsamic freshness emerges, enriched by spicy touches of pepper, nutmeg and even coffee. On the palate, the wine is gratifying, harmonious and fresh. You will perceive fruity and mineral flavors, supported by a dense and velvety tannic structure. The finish is pleasantly persistent and balanced, offering beautiful harmony among the different components.
To accompany this Tuscan gem, I recommend dishes that will magnify its structure and aromas. Imagine it alongside grilled red meats, a simmered game dish or aged cheeses. This is a wine that calls for moments of sharing, ideal for a dinner among friends or a special celebration. Let yourself be carried away by this sensory experience, a true invitation to travel to the heart of Tuscany.
