The idea of ​​enhancing its character with a refined touch in the Ruffino style was realized with this fine and versatile wine. A variety from the North meets the Tuscan soil to give life to a unique combination. A white of great pleasure, simple but with great personality.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eMethod\u003c\/strong\u003e: The destemmed and cooled grapes are delicately pressed.

Their project took shape in Pontassieve, a few kilometers from the sparkling Florence of the time, which a few years earlier had been the provisional capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Ambitious, skilled and visionary, the Ruffinos had chosen a location for their winery that was favorable to transportation, right astride the railway - one of the very first in Italy - and this helped to support the already cosmopolitan soul of the company. Ruffino wine, modern and innovative, quickly made its way into the production of the time to the point of surpassing national borders in popularity. Awards in France, such as the Bordeaux Gold Medal in 1895, or the appreciation of great names such as Giuseppe Verdi as well as that of its people, with whom Ruffino showed closeness from the very beginning. The first change of ownership dates back to 1913, when the Folonari family took over the reins of the project. After going through the difficult years of the Great War, driven by the foresight of the Folonari family, Ruffino wine headed for America, where it was appreciated to the point that it was even sold in pharmacies to overcome the barriers of prohibition. In the 1920s, the history of Ruffino overlapped with that of Chianti: the two Consortia of Chianti and Chianti Classico were born and on those denominations Ruffino built its own identity and founded its extraordinary development. The first edition of Riserva Ducale was in 1927, a name that is a tribute to the favor of the Duke of Aosta who had already fallen in love with that “stravecchio” of memorable features in 1890, appointing Ruffino supplier to the Royal House and “reserving” a batch.During the Second World War, the now large Ruffino plant was mistaken for a production hub due to its location astride the railroad and being heavily bombed. The moment was terrible but Ruffino had the strength to get up and rebuild itself together with the entire country. The post-war rebirth in Ruffino was symbolized by the birth of Riserva Ducale Oro, in 1947, the expression of a wonderful vintage and proof of how the best Chiantis could defy time. In the 50s and 60s Ruffino was a famous brand, and the stars of the time did not disdain a visit (and a photograph) in the cellar. These were the years of \u0026quot;La Dolce Vita\u0026quot; and Ruffino immediately positioned itself as an expression of that authentic Italian art of living that the whole world was beginning to look at. The pleasure of being together, conviviality, the joy of living have characterized Ruffino wines ever since, both at the center of simple wooden tables and on the tablecloths of refined restaurants. It is only a devastating natural event that momentarily interrupts its trajectory: on November 4, 1966, the Arno overflows and with it the Sieve, victims also the many bottles that will be seen floating in the murky waters of the flood. The following decades are still marked by development and innovation: the beloved fiasco gives way to the “Florentine bottle”, and Ruffino is assigned the very first band of the new Chianti DOCG, “number 1”: AAA00000001. But the change affects above all the strategic choices: it begins a process of acquisition of important Tuscan estates in the most suitable territories – Chianti, Montalcino, Montepulciano – embellished with villas and castles, but above all by vineyards owned by the company. In 2011 Tenimenti Ruffino becomes part of the Constellation Group galaxy, strengthening its international vocation, but without losing that touch of Italianness that characterizes it deeply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruffino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46573653819723,"sku":"VIN01231","price":13.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6616\/2598\/files\/BiancoToscanaIGTLaSolatiaPinotGrigioRuffino.png?v=1716903433","url":"https:\/\/cosidilposto.com\/en\/products\/bianco-toscana-igt-la-solatia-pinot-grigio-ruffino","provider":"Cose del Posto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
