Rùfina may be the smallest sub-zone of Italy’s Chianti region, but it is highly notable. Located north-east of Florence, Chianti Rùfina’s unique location against the Apennine mountains offers cool summer temperatures and consistently significant day-to-night temperature changes, ideal for producing elegant, fresh wines. This bottle of Selvapiana primarily blends Sangiovese with the small contributions of traditional blending grapes. It is an excellent example of the finesse and crispness the Rùfina subzone of Chianti delivers. $51. Pair with Lasagna Emiliana.
