2011 Prunatelli Chianti Rufina Riserva

Description

The Grati family has been growing grapes and olives in Rùfina for 5 generations. The Galiga and Vetrice estates are owned by the Grati brothers and extend over an area of 562 hectares, on the hills between Pontassieve and Rùfina, and 100 hectares are dedicated to vineyards. The family’s bonds with the land are deeply rooted, so deeply that they have even affected its morphology, with two lakes they created: Galiga and Vetrice. The landscape, with its vineyards interspersed with 12,000 olive trees and cypresses towering over the hills, is typically Tuscan.

Ruby red tending towards garnet with aging; bouquet, intensely winey acquiring a touch of the ethereal; a dry, slightly tannic taste that refines with time. -Winemaker’s Notes
