Chianti Lovers Day was short-lived in the tasting room. Slipped in for a couple of hours, tasted about 3 dozen wines; then I was whisked away to Selvapiana to have lunch and talk about two separate, but very interesting topics: the winery and a new style of wine from Chianti Rufina - Terraelectae. Both of these topics will be covered in an upcoming podcast of Two Guys Talking Wine.
For now, here are the 14 wines that impressed me during my short tasting in the Chianti Lovers room.
