Dalla rivista inglese Decanter un punatuale articolo su Chianti e Chianti Classico e una eccezionale recensione per Selvapiana.

Emily O’Hare reports on Chianti and Chianti Classico:

” Tha catalyst came in 2006, a tasting of Chianti an Chianti Classico (an important distinction, of which more later) from a selection of top names – Isole e Olena, Fontodi, Selvapiana. I was surprised by the quality and complexty of the reds I tried – the brillance of their colour, their transparency.”

“The seventh sub-zone is Chianti Rufina, northeast of Florence. The soil is the same galestro as in the Classico zone, and the vineyards sit on the lower slopes of the Apennines, where they enjoy hot temperatures during the day and benefit from cooling breezes coming down from the mountains at night. Rufina is the smallest, yet the most
famous – and arguably the finest – of the seven sub-zones outside the Classico area. The wines combine the elegance of those from Radda (in Chianti Classico), with the concentration of the wines from the lower part of Greve. And they will age as long as any wine from Gaiole.”
