Ruffino – Antica Ricetta Amaro – D.O.C.G. – Estates – Spirits – Avvenice

Ruffino – Since 1877 – Award Winning Wines from the Heart of Tuscany

Ruffino was born in 1877 in Pontassieve from the intuition of two cousins, Ilario and Leopoldo. Their ambition is that the wine appreciated in their lands can also please those who do not have the good fortune to be able to taste it every day, and live, perhaps, very far.

It was an immediate and swirling success, built on the goodness of the wines and on an entrepreneurial foresight in the uncommon times. In fact, the Ruffino cousins’ wine was immediately liked so much, so that in 1895 in Bordeaux the gold medal was awarded at the Chianti Ruffino.

Successes follow each other and already at the beginning of the twentieth century these successes lead to identify Ruffino as a synonym of Italian wine in the world through Chianti. These are the years of the birth of a true icon of Italian enology, Riserva Ducale, which in 1927 celebrates one of the most illustrious admirers of Ruffino, the Duke of Aosta who had chosen this wine to lay the tables of the court of the Italy King.

Riserva Ducale is just one of the imprints left by Ruffino in the history of Italian enology, also marked by the iconic fiasco, the bottle symbol of the entire category of Chianti, known in the world thanks to Chianti Ruffino.

Ruffino – Antica Ricetta Amaro – D.O.C.G. – Ruffino Estates – Spirits

Ruffino has chosen, as the first ingredient for its Amaro, a Tuscan IGT red wine, blended and left to rest in a slow infusion for many weeks, with over 30 rigorously selected ingredients to give Amaro Antica Ricetta a unique and unmistakable taste.

Tasting Notes

Intense and decisive ebony color. On the olfactory level, it offers a blend of aromas of blackberry and red fruit jam enriched with hints of bay leaf, nutmeg and saffron, together with sensations of leather and tobacco. On the palate it is soft, enveloping, with great personality, with a pleasantly bitter finish due to the rhubarb and red wine.

Pairings

Perfect after dinner, cold (4 ° C) or with ice with a lemon peel. Excellent ingredient for cocktails to replace the Bitter.
