Expert Review · Vintage 2022
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast · 90 Points: The earthy, spicy nose pops with aromas of damp soil, pepper, graphite and black cherry. Tangy, tart berries define the palate, while a squeeze of citrus and abundant salinity create a bouncy texture. Acid sings overhead.
Winemaker Description
Ruffino: With the desire to bring the best quality the Tuscan territory has to offer to wine lovers all over the world, Ruffino has contributed significantly to the creation of the fine image which Italian winemaking holds on the international wine scene today.
Intense powerful aromas of cherry, plum and violet opens the bouquet and fades gracefully into enticing aromas of tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon and spicy hints of black pepper. Great complexity that expresses authentic Sangiovese and Chianti Classico aromas. Full-bodied, very powerful in the mouth with elegant tannins perfectly supported with good acidity. The finish is characterized by pleasant sensations of sweet tobacco. The aftertaste is particularly long and shows powerful notes of plums and lighter aromas of clove.
Tasting Notes
Cherry, plum and violet lead into tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon and black pepper in the producer's description. Elegant tannins and good acidity support a full-bodied palate, with plum, sweet tobacco and clove on the long finish.
Food Pairings
Try with pasta in a tomato-based sauce, grilled steak, roasted lamb or aged Pecorino. Mushroom dishes offer another pairing to explore with the wine's earthy and savory notes.

Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2021
The Wine Spectator 93 Points | There's intensity to this red, which showcases cherry, boysenberry and blood orange flavors. Iron, underbrush and tobacco notes peek through as this builds to the lingering aftertaste. Verges on racy courtesy of the bracing acidity. Excellent length. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
James Suckling 92 Points | An attractive and layered nose of walnuts, ground spices, grilled thyme, red cherries and red plums with a touch of meatiness. The medium-bodied palate is sleek and polished, with juicy acidity and a fine texture. Balanced, with good tension and length.
