Quick Facts: ABV: 11%  |  Origin: Veneto, Italy (Prosecco DOC)  |  Varietal: 100% Glera  |  Producer: Ruffino

Production & Heritage

Ruffino, one of Italy's most recognized wine producers, sources the Glera grapes for this Prosecco from the hilly vineyards of Valdobbiadene — the historically prized sub-zone within the broader Prosecco DOC of Veneto. After traditional white wine vinification, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation via the Charmat Method in pressurized stainless steel tanks over approximately one month. This tank-based approach preserves the grape's bright fruit character while generating the refined, persistent bubbles that define the style.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: A fragrant and intensely fruity bouquet opens with fresh apple and sweet lemon. Underneath, subtle floral accents of hawthorn, wisteria, and elderflower add aromatic complexity.

Taste: The entry is crisp and clean, with green apple and ripe pear arriving immediately on the palate. At mid-palate, citrus brightness emerges alongside delicate white peach, carried by fine, persistent bubbles that give the wine a lively, creamy texture.

Finish: Medium in length, the finish delivers pleasant sensations of apple and peach that fade gradually. The overall impression is refreshing and light, with no residual heaviness.

How to Drink Ruffino Prosecco

Serve well chilled at 40–45°F directly from the individual 187ml bottle or poured into a flute glass. This Prosecco works beautifully in a classic Aperol Spritz, where its crisp citrus and fine effervescence balance the bitter-sweet aperitif. It shines in a Bellini, pairing naturally with white peach purée thanks to its own stone fruit notes. For something less conventional, try it in a Hugo Spritz with elderflower liqueur and fresh mint — the wine's subtle elderflower aromas echo the cocktail's herbal character.

• Brunch hosting, as a ready-to-pour mimosa or spritz base without opening a full bottle

Why Ruffino Prosecco?

The dual Gold Medals from the San Diego International Wine Competition and the New Zealand International Wine Show put this Prosecco among the most decorated wines at its price tier. Sourcing Glera grapes from Valdobbiadene's hillside vineyards — the historical heartland of Prosecco production — gives it an aromatic depth that many entry-level competitors lack. The month-long Charmat Method fermentation preserves those fresh fruit and floral aromatics while producing refined, persistent effervescence. In the 187ml three-pack format, it delivers DOC-certified Italian Prosecco in a portable, single-serve package that loses nothing in translation from the full bottle.
