Fattoria Selvapiana

Mittleres Kirschrot. In der Nase Tabak, Leder und Süßholz, am Gaumen mit schönem Kirscharoma, getragen von gutem Säure- und Tanningerüst. Hervorragende Sangiovese-Interpretation mit tollem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. SUPERIORE.DE

Wunderbare, finessenreiche Selektion der besten Trauben des Weinguts. Die Nase überzeugt mit Reichhaltigkeit: rote Früchte, dunkle Blumen, dazu feine Teer- und vegetabile Noten, Spuren von Brombeerkonfitüre. Am Gaumen körperreich, druckvoll und zugleich saftig, die wohlproportionierten Tannine kommen sehr gut zum Einsatz und gleiten diesen Roten elegant in ein langes Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Chianti Rùfina Vigneto Bucerchiale is a real standout. A wine of vertical explosiveness and energy, the 2016 Bucerchiale is deep, wonderfully defined and full of nuance. Macerated cherry, sweet tobacco, licorice, menthol, chocolate and spice abound in this super-expressive, nuanced Chianti Rùfina. Expressive savory notes add the closing shades of nuance. This is a such a gorgeous and complete wine." Vinous

"The pure sangiovese character is so impressive and enticing; this frames bark, dried rosemary, rose petals, cedar, burnt orange peel, truffles and earth. The tannins are so firm and serious, while the forthright acidity is the perfect combination. Layers of taut but plush red fruit and continual, savory and umami undertones. Superb. Drink from 2024." James Suckling

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 2015 Chianti Rùfina Riserva Vigento Bucerchiale is powerful, dense and quite structured. Readers will have to be patient with this strapping, tannic Riserva, but there is more than enough stuffing and pedigree to allow the 2015 to develop into a gorgeous wine in a few years' time. Wild cherry, sweet tobacco, mint and dried flowers add layers of nuance on the potent finish." VINOUS

"The Selvapiana 2015 Chianti Rufina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale is a generous and exuberant expression of Sangiovese that remains ever-faithful to its traditional and territory-driven roots. This wine speaks with a Tuscan tongue, giving voice to wild berry, earthy truffle and aromas of Mediterranean herb. The finish is softly fruity with subtle structure (which is firm and binding nonetheless) and fresh acidity." Robert Parker

"Combining an irresistible pairing of earthy elegance and ageworthy structure, this fragrant, focused red boasts heady scents of smoke, wild berry, pipe tobacco, sunbaked earth and rose petal. The taut linear palate shows lovely tension, delivering juicy Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, baking spice and licorice framed in youthfully firm but refined tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance and energy." Wine Enthusiast
