Ruffino Santedame Chianti Classico

Ruffino Santedame Chianti Classico Red Wine is a complex red wine blend containing sangiovese, merlot, colorino, cabernet and canaiolo red grape varieties. Flavors of plums, blackberry and currant enhanced by rich, velvety tannins deliver structure and balance. This red blend has an elegant, lingering finish of red berry fruits and balsamic notes. Evolved aging aromas give this red table wine tertiary notes of black pepper and tobacco. Each bottle of this Ruffino wine is made with a careful selection of grapes grown at the Santedame Estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. An extra week of contact with grape skins extracts additional color and flavors, while malolactic fermentation enhances this chianti wine's richness and silky texture. Pair this Italian red wine with dishes such as portobello mushroom ravioli or roasted chicken, or enjoy it with international dishes such as tandoori chicken or pork buns. Store at room temperature, but chill bottle for 30 to 60 minutes prior to pouring. Please enjoy our wines responsibly. © 2020 Ruffino Import Company, Rutherford, CA
