I have enjoyed many vintages of the excellent single vineyard Reserva (Bucerchiale) from Selvapiana, but the fruity 2018 is one of the more satisfying ones. Perfumed red and black fruit aromatics soar from the stemware. It is Medium >full, balanced and well structured with crisp acidity and light tannins at the satisfying finish. This Sangiovese star from the Rufina appellation East of Florence, always punches well above its price point. If you’re unaware of it, time to check it out. (It continues to identify it as 2013, but please note it is 2018.)

No formal notes but clearly for the price this is a great value. Excellent pairing with fennel rubbed pork chops. Quite seamless even at this point, though obviously could use more time. Long enveloping finish with good acid. Quite nice indeed. — 2 days ago
