Ruffino Chianti Superiore DOCG raffia bottle

The Ruffino Chianti Superiore comes in the classic straw-covered bottle – a piece of Tuscan wine culture that the Tuscans themselves call fiasco. Ruffino is one of the best-known Chianti houses in the region and has been producing in Pontassieve, east of Florence, since 1877.

A fresh, ruby-red image shows in the glass. The nose brings plum and damson, plus black pepper and subtle spice notes. Light and fruit-forward on the palate, with the acidity typical of Sangiovese, which enlivens the body. The tannins are present but soft enough to be able to drink the wine now – not a wine for aging, but an everyday companion with character. The finish is medium-long, spicy-fruity.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ruffino Chianti Superiore taste like?

Fruity and light, with aromas of plum and damson, black pepper, and subtle spice notes. The acidity typical of Sangiovese enlivens the palate, the tannins are soft, the finish is spicy-fruity and medium-length.

Is the Chianti dry?

Yes, it is vinified dry – the fruit tastes juicy, not sweet. The lively acidity of the Sangiovese ensures that it remains light-footed despite 14% ABV.

What does the wine pair best with?

Classically with pasta al ragù or pizza, but also with grilled meat, braised dishes, and medium-aged Pecorino. The acidity makes it a reliable companion for anything that brings some tomatoes or roasted aromas.

At what temperature should I serve it?

16–18 °C – i.e., slightly cooler than room temperature. Putting it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before serving is sufficient.

What is the deal with the bast bottle – is that just decoration?

The braided bast covering, fiasco in Italian, is a traditional Tuscan bottle format and not just a design element. It protects the bulbous glass shape and stands for an uncomplicated, everyday Chianti style.

How long can I store the wine?

Stored cool, dark, and lying down, it will keep without problems. As a fruit-forward everyday wine, however, it unfolds its character best if you open it promptly – it is not a candidate for long-term cellaring.
