Ruffino – Since 1877 – Award Winning Wines from the Heart of Tuscany

Ruffino was born in 1877 in Pontassieve from the intuition of two cousins, Ilario and Leopoldo. Their ambition is that the wine appreciated in their lands can also please those who do not have the good fortune to be able to taste it every day, and live, perhaps, very far.

It was an immediate and swirling success, built on the goodness of the wines and on an entrepreneurial foresight in the uncommon times. In fact, the Ruffino cousins’ wine was immediately liked so much, so that in 1895 in Bordeaux the gold medal was awarded at the Chianti Ruffino.

Successes follow each other and already at the beginning of the twentieth century these successes lead to identify Ruffino as a synonym of Italian wine in the world through Chianti. These are the years of the birth of a true icon of Italian enology, Riserva Ducale, which in 1927 celebrates one of the most illustrious admirers of Ruffino, the Duke of Aosta who had chosen this wine to lay the tables of the court of the Italy King.

Riserva Ducale is just one of the imprints left by Ruffino in the history of Italian enology, also marked by the iconic fiasco, the bottle symbol of the entire category of Chianti, known in the world thanks to Chianti Ruffino.

Tasting Notes

In the mouth, the return of the fruity notes perceived on the nose is immediate. The tannin is firm but velvety and fades towards more rounded sensations. With an excellent body, the finish is long and satisfying with an almost sweet aftertaste but balanced by a good acid thorn, reminiscent of plum and tobacco.

Pairing

Lodola Nuova Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a wine that requires dishes with a rich flavor such as game, lamb braised with rosemary, veal with marsala, cassoulet, seared duck breast or the famous Florentine steak.
