2022 Selvapiana Chianti Rufina Riserva Bucerchiale (750ml) is the estate’s flagship wine, a Riserva-level Chianti Rufina crafted from the estate’s best vineyard, Bucerchiale. This bottling embodies Selvapiana’s commitment to a pure Sangiovese expression from a single site, with no blending components.
Designed as a long-aging benchmark for Sangiovese from Rùfina and Selvapiana, Bucerchiale is the result of a collaboration between Francesco Giuntini and Franco Bernabei on his second vintage at Selvapiana. The wine is not a blend, as is typical for Chianti, but a pure Sangiovese, offering a focused and unmistakable varietal character that speaks to Bucerchiale’s terroir.
