Winemaker's Review: Chianti Ruffino is characterized by delicate yet steady floral notes of violet which is characteristic of Sangiovese wines. The 2011 vintage offers deep, fruity hints of plum together with intense notes of sweet cherry leading to a lightly spicy finish. Medium-bodied, Chianti Ruffino is characterized by a marvelous freshness, making for a very pleasant and easy to drink wine, with a lingering, fruity finish.
My Review: Medium to dark red in color. On the nose I'm getting cherries with lots of plum. The wine is sweet with cherry flavors and it finished a little dry. Enjoyed this wine and I'd give it a 8 out of 10.
This wine was tasted with lasagna. It paired well although it wasn't anything to brag about. The tomato sauce in the lasagna helped balance the tannins in the wine which brought out more of the fruit flavors.
