“I have written up the Bucerchiale, Vigneto Erchi and Vin Santo from this stellar estate in my MoneyWeek column over the years, but never this glorious estate wine which, again, I have to admit to drinking very regularly indeed at home. Coming from the finest winery in the Florentine environs this is one of the greatest value Chiantis of all time and, can you believe it, unlike almost all of the competition it always drinks well young. Joyous blackberry and spice fruit notes abound and there is a snap of freshness on the finish which reminds you that Rufina is a region blessed with altitude. This is sheer heaven in a glass and you can even chill it a tad when the temperature rises.”
Matthew Jukes, MoneyWeek Wine Club – May 2020, MatthewJukes.com, 8th May 2020
“Delicious chianti with superb complexity and mouth-filling smoky, floral fruit, part rose, part violet.”
Jane MacQuitty, A perfect red wine for warm summer days, The Times, 9th May 2020
