Pour this and you get juicy red cherry, a little earthy savouriness, and acidity bright enough to make your mouth water for the next bite. It's medium-bodied, dry, smooth-tannined, and ridiculously easy to love. Tonight's move: a pizza, a pasta, a plate of nyama choma, and this open on the table. We'll get it to you fast, any hour.
Ruby red with a flash of violet. The nose leads with ripe red cherry and wild berry, a hint of violet, then a savoury earthy note underneath that keeps it grown-up. On the palate it's fresh and medium-bodied, the fruit stays juicy, the tannins are soft, and that classic Sangiovese acidity zips through and resets your tongue. It's that lip-smacking brightness that makes it such a brilliant food wine.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Ruffino, a Tuscan house going back to 1877 and one of the names that first carried Chianti out of Italy to the rest of the world. It's Sangiovese-led, the grape that basically defines Chianti, grown on the schist-and-clay galestro soils that give Tuscan reds their savoury, earthy backbone. Fermented in stainless steel and aged a few months in tank before bottling, so what you taste is fresh, fruit-forward Sangiovese doing its thing, no heavy oak getting in the way.
