About The Wine
Selvapiana's Flagship Masterpiece.
The crown jewel of Fattoria Selvapiana, crafted only in exceptional vintages since 1979. This 100% Sangiovese Riserva hails from the estate's sole south-facing vineyard at 250m elevation, where vines between 19 - 43 years old dig deep into skeletal clay-limestone soils. Built for the long haul with spontaneous fermentation, 30-day maceration, and 15 months in French oak barriques.
The result? Pure Rufina Sangiovese character: structured, elegant, and designed to evolve beautifully over decades. Hand-harvested from vines yielding just 6 tonnes per hectare. Bottled December 2024. This is Chianti Rufina at its absolute finest.
