This Rufina is bright and lifted, with flavours of crushed cherry, red currant lit with a tart acidity, and seasoned with fragrant red florals and orange rind over a crushed stone base. Tannins are fine, long, and dry, streaming this lighter bodied red to a bitter edged, saline finish. Drink now, with a slight chill, and tomato-sauced pasta, and be sure to give this time to open and expand in the glass.
