Chianti 2021 Docg - Ruffino

Chianti is perhaps Ruffino's most historically important wine. The first of the reds produced by Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, the one that made the company known not only nationally, managing to find a place in the then small U.S. market. A red that over time became an ambassador of good Italian taste, the flag of a tradition that has lasted for over a century. In keeping with the best tradition, Ruffino's Chianti now comes in a special bottle, called "fiorentina," with round shapes in memory of the flask. Until the 1970s it was in fact wine that was bottled in the historic straw flasks. It is aged only in steel tanks in order to enhance its floral and fruity notes.

Tasting Notes.: Fairly deep ruby red to the eye while the nose to fruity and aromatic, with notes of cherry that blend with the floral of violet. In the mouth it is medium structured, fresh, with good acidity and d a light tannin.

Pairings: For the whole meal, it goes well with typical Tuscan cuisine and in particular with aged cheeses, grilled and baked meats.
