The top-quality Vigneto Erchi Riserva comes from the small vineyard of the same name, which has belonged to Fattoria Selvapiana since 1998. The owners spent a long time searching for a vineyard whose terroir impressively demonstrates the complexity of Sangiovese in the Rufina region, making this wine a high-calibre addition to the famous Selvapiana collection.

Compared to Bucerchiale, Vigneto Erchi is somewhat more red-fruity and combines its power with wonderful finesse. The well-tempered bouquet has precise and well-defined aromas of wild cherry and redcurrant, as well as hints of blue flowers and earthy notes. Initially restrained on the palate, it gains volume and race with further aeration. Maturation in French oak provides a structure and depth that will give it a long life. Everything is just right here, the house's new top Sangiovese has found its place. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pure Sangiovese that beguiles with its finesse-rich and broodingnose; accurate style, the subtle acidity and the perfectly drawn tannins in harmony, a lot of pressure in the finish on forest fruit notes and spice. A great wine." Vinum

"This is very attractive, with subtle notes of cherries, lavender, dried orange peel and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied, compact and tense on the palate, with lively acidity. Shows freshness and poise with a bright, minerally finish." James Suckling

"This red has settled into a nice place, its fading cherry and strawberry fruit giving way to woodsy, spicy aromas and flavors. Builds nicely midpalate through the long, complex and extended finish." Wine Spectator
