Jul 2024: PnP ready, just a few minutes in glass is enough, lots of plums, herbs, soft tannins and good acidity, lacks a wow effect — 8 years ago
In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice, blend of 80% Sangiovese with rest Merlot and Cab Sauv. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. Consistent quality, a Fav!! — a year ago

Ripe cherries, dried strawberry, licorice, rose petal, tar, and spice. Very elegant and refined. Beautiful, intoxicating nose. This still has room to develop more with age. — 3 months ago
Visited this winery in Tuscany and had this shipped to the states. Perfection! — a year ago
This is what wine from Puglia can be at its best. This is a fuller bodied wine with plum and blackberry notes. Everything meshes together well. The finish is sufficient but not long. — a month ago
Fresh and satisfying, hints of tropical fruit but well balanced. — 6 months ago
Apparently I had this a few years ago. I still find it a delight. Toothsome, if wine is allowed to have that descriptor. Balsamic and not-sweet blackberry/fig jam. Enough weight and enough acid to keep it spritely. Omg love a good Lambrusco. It’s just the thing you need to bring some pizzazz without platitude sometimes. — a year ago

Very balanced rosè between pink rose petals and ripe Strawberry aromas, on the palate the nuances of raspberry and a hint of watermelon is noticeable from the very first sip. Feels fresh and mellow, a fruit-forward rosé with an integrated acidity, and short finish.
Casual and easy to drink in any occasion. Sensible price point. Cheers! — a month ago
