Selvapiana Chianti Rufina Vigneto Erchi Riserva 2018
The Selvapiana company searched for years for a new place to cultivate Sangiovese to enhance the differences of this grape variety in the Rufina area. In 1998, the company bought the Erchi estate in the town of Pontassieve, in an area of great viticultural value. In 1999, the company planted 6 hectares with Sangiovese vines. Impressed by the quality of Sangiovese grapes grown in the estate of Erchi, the first vintage being bottled from this vineyard was in 2016.
