Ruffino, a staple in Italian wine culture, has long been associated with quality and tradition. The Pinot Grigio grapes are hand-selected from hillside vineyards across northeastern Italy, where the cool climate enhances aromatic development. The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its fresh fruit character and natural acidity.
