Ruffino - Orvieto Classico Bianco | Italian White Wine

VINEYARDS:
The grapes that make up Ruffino Orvieto Classico come from the best-known DOC grape-growing regions of Orvieto Classico (Umbria). The chalky limestone soil, called tufa, predominant in the Classico area, along with ancient remnants of volcanic soil, gives a unique character to the wines.

AGING:
The grapes were harvested in the second half of August. Then destemmed, crushed, and gently pressed. Once the must was removed from the lees at low temperature, it was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. When alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine briefly rested in stainless steel vats at 60°F (16°C) until bottled.
