Color and Aroma
Intense and clear ruby red colour. Notes of undergrowth and small berries open the bouquet, accompanied by dry notes of rose and violet.
Tasting notes
Lightly roasted spices and leather appear on the palate, creating a feeling of fullness. The taste is dry and spicy, but with soft and compact tannins. The finish is persistent and with a fresh acidity, which is characteristic of the Rufina area.
Cultivation methods and the Cedro wine style
Leguminous plants are grown between the vines and nourish them, while the breeze and sunlight protect against disease. This method combined with patience ensures the health and ripeness of the grapes. Chianti Rufina "Cedro" has a distinctive style that reflects the traditions and natural balance of the area and is known as "the greatest of the Chiantis".
Storage potential
Although 2020 is a young vintage, Chianti Rufina has good aging potential thanks to its acidity and tannic structure. The wine can develop positively over several years, but can also be enjoyed now in its youthful freshness.
Style and Character
This wine from Lavacchio reflects the elegant and more delicate style that characterizes Chianti Rufina. This style is often lighter and less powerful than other Chianti wines from nearby areas, thanks to Rufina's cooler climate and elevated location
