"The 2012 Chianti Rufina Riserva Nipozzano Vecchie Viti possesses compelling purity and class. Freshly cut flowers, sweet raspberries, mint and spices are all beautifully delineated in the glass. A wine of energy and nuance, the 2012 is impeccable from start to finish. This [is a] mid-weight, gracious Chianti Rufina . . ."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
