Montesodi Chianti Rufina Riserva 2017

As usual, Montesodi 2017 has an intense ruby-red color with tinges of purple, and this is just a foretaste to the wine's striking concentration and undeniable strength. The nose is powerful and utterly elegant, presenting an alluring succession of floral scents that blend harmoniously with rich notes of ripe fruit, red berries, black berries and plum. Hints of sweet spices bring these aromas together in an elegant way. When tasted, the density, balance, elegance and silky-smooth tannins that accompany the taste, which culminates in a pleasant and persistent finish, are truly astounding.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Balance and long, a deep well of plum, earth, leather and iron aromas and flavors show in this version, which is round fleshy, yet offers lively acidity and dense tannins. Best from 2023 through 2036.
