Ruffino Romitorio di Santedame 2020

A Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Ruffino, from the Conca d'Oro area in Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy. It is a single-vineyard wine made from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino. Ruffino was established in 1877, and the Santedame estate features a medieval hermitage. The wine is deep ruby red with violet hues, with aromas of black currant, cranberries and raspberries, plus smoky spices such as cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. It is full-bodied and elegant, with flavours of strawberries, coffee, hazelnuts and mint chocolate, and an impressive balance of alcohol and acidity within a robust structure.
