ruffino chianti

Ruffino Chianti wines are built on Sangiovese as the primary grape. Many bottlings are blends that combine Sangiovese with complementary varietals such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and others.

Tasting notes vary by bottling, from bright strawberry and spice to deeper cherry and plum flavors. You may also find hints of hazelnut, violet, tobacco, clove and Mediterranean herb nuances.

The listed Ruffino Chianti bottles range from 12.5% to 14.0% alcohol by volume.

Each bottle is 750 ml. A 750 ml bottle serves about five 5 fl. oz. glasses of wine.

Suggested pairings across the descriptions include mixed grilled vegetables and meats, mushroom risotto, ravioli, Margherita pizza, beef carpaccio, hamburgers, and chicken cacciatore.

Aging varies by bottling. One Chianti is aged about four months, while the Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico is aged for 24 months in stainless steel vats and large oak casks.

The wines undergo alcoholic fermentation with racking and punch‑downs in stainless steel and concrete vats. Grapes are fermented and macerated in stainless steel vats during winemaking.

The Riserva Ducale opens with aromas of violets, cherries, wild berries and plums, with tobacco, clove and eucalyptus nuances. It’s described as full‑bodied with bold structure, delicate tannins and vibrant acidity.

The grapes are sourced from Italy’s Chianti appellation, including select vineyards in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany.
