A Journey Through Italy’s Finest

The Ruffino Orvieto Classico DOC 2021 is a delightful white wine that highlights the lighter side of Tuscan winemaking. With aromas of citrus, pear, and white blossoms, this wine brings a refreshing taste of green apples with a subtle hint of almond. Its crisp acidity makes it a perfect companion to seafood, light pasta dishes, or as a refreshing aperitif to start your evening.

Moving on to reds, the Ruffino Chianti DOCG 2021 is a quintessential Tuscan red. Made predominantly from Sangiovese grapes, this Chianti embodies bright cherry flavors, accompanied by earthy hints of spice and herbs. Its medium body and smooth tannins make it wonderfully versatile, pairing beautifully with dishes like pizza, pasta, and roasted meats.

For something with more depth, Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico DOCG 2019 is a must-try. Named after the Duke of Aosta, this Chianti Classico boasts complex layers of black cherry, plum, and violet, with undertones of tobacco and oak. Its firm yet refined tannins create a full-bodied, structured wine that ages beautifully but is also excellent when enjoyed young. It's the ideal match for aged cheeses, roasted lamb, or heartier pasta dishes.

For those who enjoy bold flavors, Ruffino Modus Toscana IGT 2017 offers a modern take on tradition. A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this Super Tuscan presents a powerful and complex profile with dark berries, spices, and a hint of leather. Its velvety tannins and lingering finish make it perfect for pairing with steak, grilled vegetables, or rich pasta dishes.

If you’re seeking something truly special, Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2018 is a wine that stands out. Aged longer for added complexity, this Gran Selezione offers ripe blackberry flavors interwoven with dark chocolate, leather, and tobacco. With its polished tannins and long, elegant finish, it’s a wine with incredible aging potential, ideal for enjoying now or cellaring for future indulgence. Pair it with truffle dishes, braised meats, or rich game for a luxurious experience.

To round off the Ruffino collection, the Ruffino Serelle Vin Santo Del Chianti is a stunning dessert wine. Made from dried Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, this Vin Santo brings forth luscious notes of dried apricots, honey, and toasted nuts. Its balanced sweetness and vibrant acidity make it a perfect pairing for biscotti, soft cheeses, or fruit-based desserts, making it an ideal wine for special occasions.
