We've never met a Ruffino red wine that we didn't like, so we had high expectations for this white from the Italian producer.
It's the first time Ruffino has reached outside of Tuscany for a commercial wine. The wine is sourced from grapes grown in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of far northeast Italy, an area known for its white wine grapes.
We were not disappointed. Summer is the perfect time for a crisp, refreshing white wine, and this light-golden offering has plenty of citrus, pear and tropical fruit to set your mouth watering.
Sherry: "Lime, pineapple, green apple and lemon with a hint of almond on the finish." 3-1/2 stars
Chris: "Pineapple bouquet with flavors of peach, grapefruit and lemon." 3 stars
Available locally for about $10.
Coming next week: Renwood Old Vine Zinfandel
