✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic house of Ruffino, which has pioneered Italian winemaking since 1877, this Sparkling Rosé is a vibrant celebration of Northern Italy's sparkling heritage. Sourced primarily from the high-quality vineyards of the Veneto and Friuli regions, this cuvée typically blends the crisp, floral Glera grape with the structured elegance of Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir). Utilizing the classic Charmat method to preserve the pristine freshness of the fruit, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This technique highlights bright notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and white peach, framed by a delicate, persistent effervescence. Ruffino's legacy, which includes being appointed as the official wine supplier to the Italian Royal Family in the 19th century, shines through in this modern, festive expression of Italian joie de vivre.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1877 by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino in Pontassieve near Florence, Ruffino has grown to become one of the most iconic ambassadors of Tuscan winemaking. The estate gained early prestige as an official supplier to the Italian royal court, immortalized in its flagship Riserva Ducale, first crafted in 1927 in honor of the Duke of Aosta. Today, Ruffino manages prime estate vineyards across Tuscany's premier denominations, including Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, and Bolgheri, blending classic regional traditions with forward-thinking viticultural techniques. Renowned for its masterfully structured Sangiovese-driven red wines, vibrant Super Tuscans like Modus, and an array of expressive whites and sparkling wines, the house remains dedicated to expressing the timeless character and elegance of Italian terroir.
