James Suckling Review
Rated 94
You feel the oak here, suggesting vanilla and clove character, but it's very well complemented by the dark fruit, ranging from blackberries to mulberries to dark cherries. Full-bodied, dense and decadent with a regal structure and muscular tannin backbone. The acidity cuts nicely through on the long finish and provides freshness. Drink from 2024.
Wine Tasting Notes
Ruffino Romitorio Di Santedame Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG displays a ruby red color. It presents aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and characteristic violet nuances typical of Sangiovese. The bouquet is complex, with spiced dark chocolate and black pepper aromas. On the palate, the wine showcases tobacco and balsamic notes. It is a well-balanced wine with elegant tannins, complemented by nice acidity. The finish is enduring, with an impressive body.
