About this item

Ruffino starts by harvesting the grapes by hand, mostly from their Gretole estate in the Chianti Classico appellation. The vineyard lots are vinified individually to preserve their specificity to the land. Then the wine is aged in oak, stainless steel and concrete vats for 36 months which is 12 months longer than required by Italian law. The wine then spends additional months in the bottle before release. This wine is produced only in outstanding vintages. If the grapes don't meet the winemaker's exacting standards, the wine will not be made.
