Ruffino Pinot Grigio

Description

Pinot Grigio has become Italy’s most famous white wine, beloved the world over. Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio comes from the growing regions best suited for high quality Italian Pinot Grigio: Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino. We carefully select the best fruit from high-altitude vineyards that rise dramatically out of flat plains. The name Lumina, ‘illumination of the moon’ in Italian, brings attention to the importance of moonlight during a grapevine’s life. The label’s quarter-moon represents the ancient alchemist’s symbol for this satellite of the earth. Notes of meadow flowers, pears, and golden apple. The bouquet is fresh and complex, showing refined notes of sage and mint accompanied by an elegant minerality typical of Pinot Grigio. Medium bodied, lively, and elegant. A touch of minerality lingers in the finish, with notes of lemon peel.
