About this winery
When they founded their winery in 1877, Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino knew that the secret to producing the best Tuscan wines was access to the best vineyards. With this philosophy in mind, Ruffino has assembled over the years a collection of top wineries in the most important fine wine designations in Tuscany. For the company, each of the vineyards is like a jewel - a gift of the land of inestimable value.

Production notes
Harvest: The wine is crafted from the finest grapes in the vineyard. This outstanding vintage created the perfect conditions for the fruit to reach ideal ripeness before being hand-harvested and later sorted by hand in the winery. Fermentation: The juice was fermented and macerated in thermo-controlled stainless steel vats with regular délestage and pump-overs. Aging: After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in oak barrels for 24 months. Before bottling, it rested again for a short time in stainless steel vats. The wine was then bottled and further aged for 4 months.
Tasting notes
Color: Ruby red with garnet huesAroma: Complex, refined, and very intense aromatics of ripe plum, cassis, and maraschino cherry enriched with hints of cocoa and sweet tobacco.Tasting profile: Full-bodied and rich with a complex, elegant structure. The velvety tannins create a beautiful balance for the red fruit flavors. Deep notes of spice lead to a remarkably long finish.
