Sipping Fine Wine

In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice. On the palate black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab pizza or pasta and enjoy the great value wine.

Ihan ok, super kevyt ja ei mehumainen kuitenkaan. Vetinen - mauton

Among the better Chianti we’ve had. Really good flavor, easy drinking.

Enjoyed this wine. Light enough to compliment a salad while also robust enough to pair with amatriciana. Would love to have again.

Classic wine. They make a ton of it. You can buy it lots of places. Stewed strawberry and rhurarb. No sharp pieces here. They've all been ground down for your protection. Definitely signs of age. Woody in that sense. The tannins here are nice and soft, but drink up.
