Selvapiana 2005 Chianti Rufino

Upper $20-ish at Via Tribunali on Queen Anne.

Oh, how I dearly love Via Tribunali. The food and this wine evoke Italy very clearly for me. We've had this bottle a couple times and have enjoyed it immensely. All the elements I like in Chianti are present, but they've been turned up to eleven, especially the earthiness, acid and tannins. Go, but go on the weekend, when we avoid it due to the crowds and long waits... save the weekday nights for us.
