The Rufina zone is the smallest in Chianti (about 600 hectares of vineyard) but also one of the most special. The cool breeze that blows down the Sieve Valley gives the best wines a finesse and definition that few in Chianti Classico can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFederico Giuntini Masseti now runs the property, which is situated just north of the town of Pontassieve. The estate covers 250 hectares, 60 of which are planted under vine (95% being Sangiovese), 36 are olive groves, and the rest is covered by woods. For the most part, the vineyards face west, though Selvapiana’s prized Bucerchiale vineyard is south-west facing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chianti Rufina is fine and elegant in the Selvapiana style. Federico considers the ‘Vigneto Bucerchiale’ to be a more weighty and powerful Rufina, but it still displays the vibrancy of fruit that characterises the Selvapiana wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFATTORIA SELVAPIANA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.selvapiana.it\/\" title=\"The official website of Fattoria Selvapiana Chianti Rufina\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FattoriaSelvapiana\/\" title=\"Follow Fattoria Selvapiana on Facebook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/selvapiana_fattoria\/\" title=\"Follow Selvapiana on Instagram\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"selvapiana-vigneto-bucerchiale-chianti-rufina-riserva","title":"Selvapiana 'Vigneto Bucerchiale' Chianti Rufina Riserva 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Giuntini created 'Vigneto Bucerchiale' - a single vineyard expression of Chianti Rufina Riserva - with Franco Bernabei in 1979. Together, they wanted to produce a wine to best represent the character and quality of Rufina and in particular Selvapiana Sangiovese. The grapes are grown organically in the 12.5 hectares Bucerchiale vineyard on the ancient Selvapiana estate.The oldest part of the vineyard was planted in 1968 and the youngest in 2001. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel and cement tanks. Maturation lasts for approximately 15 months in medium-sized oak casks and French oak barriques (10% new) before bottling. Only produced in the best vintages this wine shows tremendous depth of colour with great intensity on the nose. The palate is powerful and fruit packed with ripe raspberry and spicy cherry fruit, supported by a touch of herbs and violets, robust tannins and a long, fine finish which is the hallmark of the Selvapiana wines.

This is a late ripening variety, so the olives are greener when picked, resulting in a spicy, green oil. Selvapiana is situated in the Sieve Valley, northeast of Florence, where a cool current of mountain air is funnelled through a pass in the Apennines down the valley. This makes it one of the coolest grape and olive growing regions in Tuscany, giving oils that are among the greatest and most spicy in Tuscany. Ultra-modern, stainless steel continuous presses are used. Most experts now agree that this method of pressing results in fresher, cleaner oils that retain their colour and fruitiness for a longer period of time. The oil was settled in a mixture of terracotta orci (urns), and stainless steel. It was bottled after a light filtration through cotton. The oil is vivid green in colour with great viscosity, it has fresh and clean aromas with notes of artichoke, freshly cut grass and green tomatoes. On the palate, it is ripe and viscous with lovely purity and intensity and a spicy, peppery character on the finish.
