Tuscany, ItalyLight spice, cherry and raspberry complete the nose of Ruffino's entry-level Chianti - a consistent buy year after year. Dusty cherry, a touch of meat and a bit of old wood must on the nose. Cherry and tobacco rule the medium palate and though tannins are a touch on the stemmy side, there's a redeeming perfumed strawberry note to the end, clipped as it is. Simple and identifiable, made well on a large scale.Tasted: 10 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Tuscany, ItalyPeppery, spicy, cherry-scented nose with a touch of game. The attack is soft and juicy, the palate and easy sipping mix of plums, cherries, licorice and savoury, balsamic tobacco flavours. Fresh with attractive fruit and balance for current drinking. Good value here for Chianti. Spaghetti and meatballs anyone?Tasted: 22 April 2015Tasted by: Prices:
