Cannot believe Delectable found this wine!! Hats off! This amazing Vin Santo is made by very very small coop in Rufina. I enjoyed it last week after having dinner with the family who made it in the small farmhouse in chianti. — 10 years ago

Chianti Rufina DOCG 2009, 13.5%. Beautiful color with purple nuances. The nose was a bit to alcoholic at first, but then the floral scents emerge and it becomes rich and intense. Powerful but smooth in the mouth. — 13 years ago
Rufina best rated sub region for chianti — 8 years ago
Very Old World in style. Nose has striking crushed rock minerality and ripe/tart deep cherry fruit. Little hint of pine forest. Pure and mouthfilling cherry and mineral flavors are jolted with zippy acids. Medium body. Although Carignane is mostly known as a French varietal, this really gives off Italian vibes, like a mixture of a Dolcetto and a Chianti Rufina. Really good. — 9 years ago
'11. Nero d'Avola and Frappato. A lighter Sicilian Chianti Rufina. Light on its feet, great value. Food wine. COS winemaker's dinner @noragrey — 11 years ago
Excellent 2006 Vin Santo style; really fresh and less sherry/oxidised of the genre of Tuscan desserts #malvasia #trebbiano #DOC #castellodipomino #barrelaged5yrs #tuscany #rufina — 12 years ago
If you want a Chianti with a bit more “oomph”, such as for a nice veal cutlet, grilled chicken, pasta primavera, grilled eggplant, or similar dish, go with a Chianti Classico or Chianti Rufina in the $12-25 range. — 13 years ago
