2021 Fattoria di Basciano Chianti Rufina

The Fattoria di Basciano 2021 Chianti Rufina shows fine and authentic varietal aromas of wild cherry, earth and crushed rose. I like the intensity of this wine and its fruit weight, which feels concentrated but not in an exaggerated manner. You also get the bright freshness of Sangiovese to pair with cheese or butter-heavy foods. There is a note of sweet ripeness on the close. This is an ample 200,000-bottle release.
