Cold bottle, hot evening, zero fuss. This is the white you pour when you want something that just works. Light, dry, a little zippy, with peach and pear that go down easy and a clean snap on the finish. Friends over, takeaway on the way, or just you and a series. It doesn't ask questions, it just delivers.
Pale straw in the glass. Stick your nose in and you get white peach, ripe pear and a twist of citrus zest, with a soft honeysuckle floral note behind it. The sip is light-to-medium and properly dry, so think green apple and lemon rather than anything sweet. It's bright without being sharp, and the finish is clean and quick, the kind that makes you reach for the next sip.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Ruffino is a historic Italian house with Tuscan roots going back to 1877. This Pinot Grigio comes from the Delle Venezie zone up in the north-east of Italy, the patch of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia that the country basically built its reputation for crisp white wine on. The grapes ripen on hillside vineyards, then it's fermented in stainless steel rather than oak, which is the whole trick to keeping it this fresh and fruit-forward.
