Spotlight on: Ruffino

" "

The Tuscan gem's affordable, high-quality offerings make amazing "house" wines for everday sipping and food pairing.

Italian winemaker Ruffino brings a rich history dating back more than 135 years to every bottle of its versatile wines, including its benchmark Chianti, a classic red rooted in local traditions. First released in 1927, and now made with modern techniques that respect those traditions, Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico is earthy and restrained with balanced complexity and velvety smoothness. The tart cherry and plum notes of this wonderfully food-friendly red shine alongside everything from pasta Bolognese to mushroom risotto to grilled steak.

Beyond its incredible lineup of Chiantis and other rich, full-bodied blends and estate varietals, Ruffino also excels at producing lively, complex Pinot Grigio and Orvieto Classico and crisp, intensely flavoured Prosecco, which is perfectly priced for everyday celebrations.
