Bottle photo: Selvapiana

A warm vintage shaped the 2015 Selvapiana Vigneto Bucerchiale Chianti Rufina Riserva, which now shows a dark, brooding brick-red core with a light red-tinted rim. Baked plum and stewed cherry meet brown mushroom, damp earth, and deep umami tones on the nose. Sweet strawberry, more savory umami, dusty sage, and a briny mineral thread follow on the palate. Grippy tannins, a full body, and moderate-plus acidity keep it firmly structured.
