"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Fattoria Selvapiana Bucerchiale Riserva, Chianti Rufina DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 2011 on 01.01.1970 with 93 of 100 points.
"It is immediately event that this is a well-made wine with a promising future ahead of it. It is still young with its ruby color and compact fruity aroma of strawberry and raspberry along with seductive Mediterranean notes of capers and laurel followed by a slightly spicy scent of incense. The mouthfeel has a good acidity and nice tannins while the finish is decidedly saline and persistent."
yr. 2006 Doctorwine:
90 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Fattoria Selvapiana Bucerchiale Riserva, Chianti Rufina DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.1970 with 90 of 100 points.
"Its ruby-red color makes it seem as if it is on fire in the glass, emanating light. The suggestive bouquet recalls the forest, roots and berries. The mouthfeel is almost austere, with evident fine tannins, and mineral and brackish scents emerge with breathing. Its only flaw is a persistence that is not infinite. Something to drink with sumptuous meals."
yr. 2009 Doctorwine:
91 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Fattoria Selvapiana Bucerchiale Riserva, Chianti Rufina DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 2009 on 01.01.1970 with 91 of 100 points.
"The intense ruby color is not to too dark but it holds up. The aroma has a rare complexity with nuances of anise and gorse, followed by a light balsamic streak of mint that permeates the classic scents of cherry, at various stages of maturity, and mulberry. The taste is rich, intense, with the classic flavors that represent this vineyard's trademark along with its lively acidity and tannins that are never grouchy. The finish is also rare and is consistent with the warm scents of tobacco and rose."
yr. 2004 Doctorwine:
90 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Fattoria Selvapiana Bucerchiale Riserva, Chianti Rufina DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.1970 with 90 of 100 points.
"A great, classic Rufina that never disappoints and has a long life span. The latter vintages are even better thanks to aging longer in the bottle at the winery. This Riserva 2004 is really good. The aroma jumps between white flowers and red flowers with a very pleasing scent that recalls a stroll through a bee farm. A balsamic streak is quite intriguing and fresh and balances the ripe cherry and mulberry. The tannins are nice and compact and the progression is excellent, while the finish has great persistence."

"A jewel, one of the best of its kind. The color is a deep, integral red with a fascinating and timeless garnet edge. Its integrity is expressed in full in its aroma, ample, very fine, multifaceted, with an exemplary macerated violet, a light sprinkling of spice, a fruit with surprising integrity, a touch of sweet tobacco. The flavor, though upheld by a noticeable acidity, is velvety, rewarding and of an extra fine drinkability. The finish is long, with a light retro-nasal return of sour cherry. Drinking it you ask yourself where else can you drink such a superb DR0P made by such an inspired hand and from such a compliant land. An excellent start."
yr. 1999 Doctorwine:
86 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Fattoria Selvapiana Bucerchiale Riserva, Chianti Rufina DOCG, Italy" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.1970 with 86 of 100 points.
"The historic Fattoria Selvapiana, the protecting numen and historic vestige of Chianti Ruffina wines, proposes a pure Sangiovese from its Bucerchiale vineyard. From these vines, which turned exactly 20 years old in 1999, came a wine of an intense ruby-red color, still bright, rich to the nose with scents of cherry and ripe prunes, even those in preserves, with accents of spice and coffee. To the taste it is full-bodied, fresh, with distinct, juicy tannins, well-amalgamated in the body. The finish has a touch of bitterness."

"90 Villa Selvapiana 2000 Vigneto Bucerchiale Riserva (Chianti Rufina); $31. Lots of mature complexity on display here. The nose delivers classy tobacco, rubber and smoky tar aromas as well as mature dry fruit, and the palate is lively and tight. Blackberry, cinnamon and vanilla flavors lead into a tannic but healthy finish. Maturing as we speak; drink through 2007."
