Ruffino Fonte Al Sole Sangiovese di Toscana IGT 2003

Tuscany, ItalyA decade of hard work and renewal has changed the flavour of Chianti banishing the leather and animal scent and replacing that with fruit and texture. The style is open and expressive for simple Chianti but that's the power of the early, warm 2003 vintage. More ripeness and richness on the palate with pleasant black fruit, mushroom, earth and cherry flavours. Very attractive style. Excellent value fine vintage. A huge step up in quality from 2002.
