About this winery

Located in the hills east of Florence, Chianti Rufina is a very small appellation of just 600 hectares (for comparison, Chianti Classico covers a vast 7,000 hectares – virtually the entire zone between Florence and Siena). By reputation the wines are both more refined and more backward than other Chiantis – presumably a function of Rufina’s mix of galestro, limestone and clay soils, higher altitude, proximity to the inland Apennines, and cooler microclimate combining to produce later...

Kerin O'Keefe, (Vintage 2015)

Combinant un accord irrésistible d'élégance terreuse et une structure au bon potentiel de garde, ce rouge concentré et parfumé dégage des arômes capiteuses de fumée, de baies sauvages, de tabac à pipe, de terre cuite au soleil et de pétale de rose. La bouche montre une belle tension, livran de la cerise Morello juteuse, de la framboise écrasée, des épices à cuisson et de réglisse avec des tannins juvéniles fermes mais raffinés. L'acidité fraîche apporte équilibre et énergie. Boire entre 2022 et 2035.

Antonio Galloni, February 2019 (Vintage 2015)

The 2015 Chianti Rùfina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale is powerful, dense and quite structured. Readers will have to be patient with this strapping, tannic Riserva, but there is more than enough stuffing and pedigree to allow the 2015 to develop into a gorgeous wine in a few years' time. Wild cherry, sweet tobacco, mint and dried flowers add layers of nuance on the potent finish.
