Ruffino delivers a complex classic Chianti; cherries and violet notes with soft spices and tobacco. More character is added from its velvet tannic structure, firm acidity, and rosemary laced in its lingering finish. A wine with great aging potential but can be enjoyed now - open the wine and allow it to breath for about 30 minutes to an hour for best tasting experience. Enjoy this timeless Tuscan gem with Italian favorites such as prosciutto and other antipasti, mushroom risotto, pasta Bolognese, and chicken cacciatore. It even pairs with casual dishes: simple grilled meats and roasted vegetablesl.
