Territory

Chianti Rufina is one of the smallest and most prestigious sub-zones of the Chianti region. Located northeast of Florence, the area benefits from higher elevation and significant temperature variations between day and night, which contribute to the development of complex aromas in the grapes. The soil composition, rich in galestro and alberese, provides excellent drainage and imparts unique mineral characteristics to the wine.
