Ruffino, Chianti (Tuscany, Italy) 2008

Mar 24, 2010

By Tina Caputo

 Spicy aromas of red cherries give way to slightly tart cherry flavor.  The wine is light- to medium-bodied, with good acidity and a bit of tannin.  This would be a good match for a simple margherita pizza or pasta with marinara sauce.
