Ruffino Chianti

Chianti, Tuscany, Italy

Chianti covers a broad Tuscan growing area of rolling hills, limestone-clay soils, olive groves, and cypress-lined slopes. Ruffino's classic bottling highlights the familiar, food-friendly side of Sangiovese.

Sangiovese-led blend

Sangiovese provides sour cherry, red plum, tea, herbs, and bright acidity. Supporting Tuscan or international varieties may soften the palate and add color or fruit weight.

Clay-limestone soils and hillside exposures encourage savory red-fruit character and freshness. Vinification usually favors stainless steel or neutral vessels, preserving drinkability rather than heavy oak impact.

Sour cherry, red plum, violet, dried oregano, black tea, and earthy notes form a straightforward Tuscan profile.

Ruffino is one of the historic names that helped make Chianti familiar to international wine drinkers.
