2006



GRAPE VARIETALS

Predominantly Sangiovese



VINEYARDS

From grapes grown in the best-known wine-growing regions of Chianti.



VINIFICATION AND AGEING

The grapes were harvested in October.

Alcoholic fermentation, usually aided by racking and punching down, continues for about 2 weeks at an average temperature of 26/28°C in temperature-controlled stainless-steel or concrete vats.



Alcohol content: 12,5% vol.



SENSORY PROPERTIES

Colour: Ruby red

Aroma: As always this Chianti features a deliciously vinous bouquet, where the floral and fruity notes lead towards a finish of slightly spicy scents of white pepper and hazelnuts.

Tasting profile: Medium-bodied, Chianti Ruffino is pleasantly fruity, harmonious and persistent.

A young Sangiovese which can be perfectly matched with a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes.



In production since the beginning of the Twentieth century
