Ruffino

Ruffino: a range of wines for every taste

The Ruffino estate offers a wide selection of wines capable of appealing to both lovers of full-bodied reds and those who prefer softer, fruitier cuvées. At the heart of the house’s production, the Chianti Classico DOCG stands out for its elegance, structure, and intense aromas, while the Riserva reveals additional depth thanks to extended barrel aging, offering notes of ripe fruit, spices, and leather, ideal for lovers of age-worthy wines. At the same time, the IGT Toscana wines allow for greater blending freedom and offer a more contemporary and expressive style, while retaining the region’s typical character.

The Ruffino range thus combines accessibility, finesse, and complexity, offering wines suitable for all occasions, from friendly meals to more demanding tastings.

Serving advice and food and wine pairings

A few simple tips can reveal the full richness of the Ruffino estate’s cuvées.

The Chianti Classico and Riserva are ideally enjoyed, for example, between 16 and 18°C, while lighter cuvées, such as whites or rosés, are pleasant at 8-10°C. It is also highly recommended to aerate the reds by opening the bottle about thirty minutes to an hour before serving or by using a decanter for young wines, so that the aromas can fully develop.

When it comes to food and wine pairings, Ruffino’s red wines naturally complement grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes or stews, and pair particularly well with aged cheeses. The more accessible cuvées or IGT Toscana are well suited to Mediterranean recipes such as grilled vegetables, pasta with tomato sauce, or fresh cheeses. 

These simple tips will certainly help you highlight the structure, fruitiness, and finesse of the estate’s wines, for a balanced and convivial tasting experience!
