The simple notion of “Chianti” is perhaps the most widely recognized type of Italian wine. But wait, Chianti is not a simple product. Far lesser known is the fascinating network of zones & sub-zones that comprise Chianti’s wine growing region. These designations provide complex layers to Chianti’s offerings, and it is important for consumers to understand the full range of nuanced Chianti varietal options. Today, David Kohl highlights the “Rufina” sub-zone (within the Chianti Classico zone) , a source of 100% Sangiovese selections. #chiantirufina #chiantisubzones #chianticlassico #italywineregions #chiantizones
