RUFFINO AQUA DI VENUS PINOT GRIGIO

COLOR

Straw yellow.

AROMA

The three varietals can be discerned: the forthright minerality of Vermentino, the plush fruit of Chardonnay and the closure of Sangiovese. Reminiscent of medicinal herbs and a tropical touch are the nuances that finish the aromatic profile.

TASTING PROFILE

Deliciously savory, almost a salty sea breeze accompanied by ripe citrus, yellow fruits and accents of pulp. The structure aspires to a brilliant finish and enduring energy.

FULL TASTING NOTES

Perfect as an aperitif, the wine has the personality to be food-flexible, pairing each course with the right attitude and wisdom.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Serve with fresh or canned fish as well as boldly flavored courses. Delightful with young and even blue cheeses, perfect with fresh pastas dressed with vegetables.

WINEMAKING NOTES

The refined winemaking begins with the separate vinification of each varietal, typified by immediate gentle pressing after the grapes were harvested while aiming to maintain the integrity of the fruit. The must ferments in steel at a controlled temperature aimed at keeping all the aromas.

THE STORY

Aqua di Venus is the result of a project aimed at promoting an enticing corner of Tuscany: the southern Maremma coast. The area’s occasionally surly character is softened by the unparalleled grace of the creatively crafted bottle, which proved a runaway success with the wine’s rosé counterpart. This white embraces the same spirit, a variation on the theme featuring the opulence of its three varietals – Sangiovese, Vermentino and Chardonnay – and the winemaking expertise of Ruffino. It is an exceptionally elegant white wine, which pairs perfectly with all of Italy’s specialty products.
