Tasting notes
The 2023 Ruffino Chianti DOCG, in its youth, displays a lively ruby hue. The nose offers immediate appeal with bright aromas of Morello cherry, redcurrant, and a delicate hint of violet, underpinned by a subtle earthy minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and refreshing, driven by Sangiovese's characteristic high acidity. Soft, integrated tannins frame a core of fresh red berry fruit, leading to a clean, persistent finish with a classic savoury tang. Designed for immediate enjoyment, this wine exemplifies the approachable charm of young Chianti.
