The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01Ruffino's Aziano Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at the sun-drenched Sangiovese grapes. Its bouquet is an inviting tapestry of wild cherry, subtle violet, and a whisper of earthy underbrush, characteristic of this classic Tuscan expression.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine unfolds with bright acidity and ripe cherry fruit, supported by a pleasingly firm tannic structure that speaks of its terroir. The finish is persistent and savory, leaving a lingering impression of dried herbs and a touch of minerality. This Chianti Classico finds its perfect companions in hearty Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-cooked wild boar ragu, or a classic Pappa al Pomodoro. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet elegant plate of cured meats.
