Fattoria Lavacchio Chianti Rùfina 2019

Fattoria Lavacchio Chianti Rùfina 2018 is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with aromas of raspberry, cherry, and leather. While some appreciate its well-balanced tannins and smooth finish, others find it lacks depth. The wine features notes of vanilla and oak, with a medium to long finish, making it suitable for pairing with red meat or enjoying alone.

The 2020 Fattoria Lavacchio Chianti Rùfina presents a vibrant ruby hue, indicative of its youthful vigor. On the nose, it offers a harmonious bouquet of ripe red cherries, dried herbs, and a subtle hint of violet, underscored by a whisper of earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, showcasing a finely-tuned balance between bright acidity and firm tannins, which are characteristic of the Rùfina subregion. Flavors of tart cranberry, anise, and a touch of forest floor leaf unfold gracefully, leading to a lingering finish with a touch of spice. This Chianti exemplifies the elegance and finesse typical of its terroir.
