Fattoria Selvapiana

In der Nase etwas Tabak, Leder und Süßholz; am Gaumen mit schönem Kirscharoma, getragen von gutem Säure- und Tanningerüst; hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. (superiore.de)

"Pure cherry aromas and flavors are enhanced by a smoky element in this juicy, round red. Hints of earth and mineral add interest on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Selvapiana's 2015 Chianti Rufina is terrific. Dark red cherry, wild herbs, tobacco, cedar and spice notes are this attractive, midweight Sangiovese’s distinctive signatures. As always, the 2015 is lifted and gracious in feel." Antonio Galloni

Den Besitzer von Selvapiana, Francesco Giuntini, und die Besitzerin des Weingutes Petrognano, Cecilia Galeotti Ottieri, verbindet eine lange Freundschaft. Ihr kleines an der Grenze der Toskana zur Emilia Romagna gelegenes Weingut liegt inmitten der Pomino DOC, die erstmals 1716 urkundlich erwähnt wurde und (neben Rufina Classico, Carmignano und Valdarno Superiore) zu den ersten vier geschützen Appellationen der Toskana gehört.

Seit einigen Jahren verbindet die beiden das Projekt "Villa Petrognano", unter diesem Namen entsteht unter der Ägide Selvapianas einer der urwüchsigsten und zugleich besten Pomino Rosso der Region. Subtil im Duft, der Geschmack körperreich und lebendig - eine Cuvée, die man so schnell nicht vergisst! (superiore.de)

"Dark and well-aged look. Rather Pomerol-like on the nose. Sweet and beautifully made with refined tannins but a little bite at the end – really lively! Like the perkiest claret imaginable. Good length." Jancis Robinson

Intensives Granatrot. In der Nase Granatapfel, Kirsch- und Brombeernoten mit Gewürznelken. Komplex im Geschmack, erdig und kraftvoll. Packendes Tannin begleitet in einen langen Abgang. (superiore.de)

"The Riserva is softly layered and thick with ripe cherry, blackberry, mocha and evident spice." Robert Parker

"Single vineyard. Bricky garnet. Inviting mature undergrowth aroma but still with sweet, vanilla-edged red fruit. Very fragrant." Jancis Robinson

"The 2013 Chianti Rufina Riserva Bucerchiale is a fantastic interpretation with seamless balance and carefully measured intensity. The wine opens to bright cherry and cassis aromas that are wrapped within a delicate veil of balsam or Mediterranean herb. The mouthfeel is silky and long with a good amount of power to move it smoothly over the palate. Selvapiana shows excellent results in this vintage." Robert Parker

"A host of dark red cherry, iron, plum, smoke, licorice and dark spice infuse the 2013 Chianti Rùfina Vigneto Bucerchiale. Pliant and dense, with tightly wound tannins, the 2013 is going to need at least a few years to unwind. There is plenty to look forward to for those who can wait. Despite its mid-weight structure, the 2013 packs quite a punch to match its decidedly virile personality." Antonio Galloni

"Pale fox red. Very sweet palate entry; you are really aware of the sunshine here! Transparency and considerable terroir effect. A real wine of place. Wonderfully long and tender. Vibrates." Jancis Robinson

Strahlend helles Rubinrot. Angenehme Kirsch-, Beeren- und Gewürzaromen mit einer lebendigen Säure, danach Noten von Zedernholz und Salbei, etwas Orangenschale. Fornace ist ein eleganter Verführer auf hohem Niveau. (superiore.de)
