Website www.ruffino.com

Overview This is Ruffino’s first Pinot Grigio and its first wine produced outside Tuscany—more evidence of Ruffino’s solidification as an international powerhouse. This wine is a nice addition to the ever-expanding portfolio. It’s light and refreshing, and it has been selling nearly a million bottles a year in the few years it’s been produced. Sometimes the masses are right.

Nose As one might expect from a Pinot Grigio, it’s faint and subtly floral.

Mouth Simple and tart, it has a refreshing, chalky aspect that our blind tasters enjoyed.
