Remarkably, the 2010 Selvapiana Vigneto Bucerchiale Chianti Rufina Riserva smells far fresher than the 2015, with dark cherry, tobacco leaf, dried mint, and a savory note of cured meat. It shows a dark ruby-brick core and a light brick rim. Still-grippy tannins and perfectly judged acidity carry the medium-plus to full body. Decades of life remain ahead for this superb Chianti Rufina.
