WINE DESCRIPTION
Frascole Chianti Rufina, produced by the esteemed Frascole winery, hails from the prestigious Chianti Rufina appellation in Tuscany. The vineyards, situated at higher altitudes, benefit from a cooler microclimate and well-drained, rocky soils, contributing to the wine's distinct character. Meticulously crafted using traditional winemaking techniques, this Chianti Rufina showcases the best of Sangiovese, often blended with small amounts of Canaiolo. The result is a wine with a perfect balance of acidity, tannins, and rich fruit flavors, embodying the essence of Tuscan winemaking tradition.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Frascole Chianti Rufina delights with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of violet, complemented by earthy undertones.On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of dark fruit, spices, and a touch of oak, supported by firm yet refined tannins. Ideal food pairings include classic Italian dishes like pasta with tomato-based sauces, roasted meats, and aged cheeses. While enjoyable upon release, this Chianti Rufina can be cellared for 5-7 years, allowing its depth and complexity to further evolve.
