Description
Discover the legacy of Ruffino Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino, a red wine born from the vision of two brothers in 1877. Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino set up their winery in Pontassieve, near Florence, chasing the dream of crafting Italian wines cherished worldwide. Their commitment to unwavering quality and precise techniques turned Ruffino into a beacon of Tuscan excellence, even earning a gold medal at the 1895 Bordeaux Wine Fair.
This Brunello captures that enduring spirit in every glass. It gleams with an intense ruby hue laced with garnet reflections, drawing you into its depths. Breathe in the intricate bouquet, where ripe plum, blackcurrant, and cherry mingle with whispers of sweet tobacco and chocolate. The wine unfolds with remarkable elegance and staying power, laced through with bold spicy nuances that linger on the palate.
Critics have taken note of its compelling profile. Gismondi on Wine awarded it 91 points, praising the earthy layers, initial dry edge, leathery whispers, and vibrant red fruits like cherry and plum, all woven with savory crushed herbs for added depth. Falstaff chimed in with 88 points, highlighting its bright ruby red shade and timeless Brunello traits.

Whether you're building your collection or seeking a standout bottle for special evenings, this wine promises a journey through Tuscany's rich winemaking heritage. Let its complex aromas and persistent finish transport you straight to the heart of Italy, one sip at a time.
