4pm: Tuscany’s hidden gem – Chianti Rufina

-

Speaker: Peter McCombie MW, Italian wine expert

Peter McCombie MW presents one of Tuscany’s hidden jewels: mature wines from the Chianti Rufina denominati­on, east of Florence. High-altitude vineyards and meticulous production by artisanal vineyard owners, combined with a very special micro-climate, mean this particular form of Chianti is famously long lived and elegant. Join Decanter to taste some outstandin­g examples dating back to 1991, not normally available for tasting.
