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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1877 by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino in the historic town of Pontassieve near Florence, Ruffino is one of Tuscany's most iconic and enduring wine estates. Driven by a commitment to capturing the true essence of Italian terroir, the house gained early international acclaim, famously becoming the official supplier to the Italian royal family. Today, Ruffino is celebrated for its benchmark Chianti Classico expressions, most notably the legendary Riserva Ducale and Riserva Ducale Oro, alongside acclaimed Super Tuscans like Modus and exceptional Brunello di Montalcino from their Greppone Mazzi estate. By balancing time-honored Tuscan traditions with modern, sustainable viticulture, Ruffino continues to craft a diverse portfolio of elegant reds, crisp whites, and expressive rosés.
