Ruffino Prosecco

Pam Hatton rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Light crisp pale yellow sparkling wine. Nose of lemon and a touch of white fruit and almonds. Light body with light bubbles that cleanse the palate. Citrus and apple on the palate. Short and dry finish. Aperitif bubbles to pair with nibbles, seafood, Asian style food.

Craig Haynes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Ruffino crafted this fruity sparkling wine with Glera grapes from the Valdobbiadene region in Italy’s Prosecco DOC appellation. In my glass, this prosecco offered a crisp, light bodied experience with primarily citrusy aromas and flavours backed by pear and green apple notes. The multitude of persistent bubble streams added pleasing texture and visual appeal to this charmat method sparkler. This Ruffino has been designed for early enjoyment so buy it then chill it and serve it as an aperitif or in a spritz or cocktail.

Sparkling and pale straw in colour with aromas of lemon, lime, honeysuckle, green apple and a hint of biscuit. A light bodied with a pleseant effervescence and some sweetness with flavours of peach, green apple and pear with a lingering dry finish. This is an excellent party wine as it will go great with appetizers or as an aperitif on its own.

Mild honeysuckle, green apple and citrus aromas and flavours. A fruity sweetness on the palate but a dry finish. This is a delicious and affordable sparkling wine for a before-dinner apertif. I'd pair this with spicy grilled shrimp or chicken satay.

Bill Wright Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Clean crisp with a hint of fresh green apples and citrus throughout. An unexpected hint of sweetness on the finish yet still clean. Shell fish, mild fish or even potato chips would make a good match for this bubbly.

Can't go wrong with a Prosecco, well chilled, at the start of a lovely evening! This particular Prosecco was produced from grapes grown in the breathtaking area of Valdobbiadene. Not yet available for sale in Ontario, however, it was delightful just the same. The nose is full of fruit and floral notes, and bubbles of course! Lots of zesty lemon, lime, ripe pear and apple on the palate. Wonderful just on its own….

David Skinner rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A perfect starter. The large bubbles tickle your taste buds and prepare your palate for a light lunch or robust dinner. The wine is made once each year and preserved in large refrigerated stainless steel vats until the wine maker decides it's time to make enough to ensure the market inventory is freshly made. Using the Charmat method to make small lots from the mother wine ensures that the bubbles are large (the hallmark of prosecco versus aged champagne since the longer a sparkler is aged the smaller the bubbles become).

Nice green apple notes on the nose and palate with some slight melon accents. Great acidity and is a delight on its own.

If this wine was stepping into a ring/ an octagon for a fighting match, the announcer would introduce it as Ruffino "the easeful sipping" Prosecco. Aromas and flavours are mild with mostly floral and citrus characteristics. Acidity is crisp, wine is light bodied, slightly off-dry, and refreshing. It's a very approachable wine and would be a hit a brunch!

Tania Thomas rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Crisp and fruity Prosecco vinified by a Charmat Method in the northeast of Italy. It’s bursting with aromas and flavours of green apples and lemon drops with a subtle touch of floral notes. Refreshing with fine bubbles and a lingering finish. Perfect as an aperitif or as a companion to summer salads and seafood. Serve well chilled.

When it comes to sparkling wines, Prosecco is always good value! This one from Ruffino has some nice zesty lemon and bready notes, with consistent bubbles. Food-friendly and versatile as an aperitif or with lighter salads and appetizers. Reasonably priced, so it can be opened on any different occasion without breaking the bank!

Pretty sparkler. Fruity and floral aromas of peach, cantaloupe, and apple. Not too acidic, just a good way to quick off a fun night!

Aromas of pear, citrus and a touch of yeast. The palate offered lemon, apple, pear and some ripe peach, with a nice balance of bubbles with good acidity. Great to serve as a pre-dinner wine.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A bright crisp Prosecco with aromas of green apple, pear, and apricot. Lots of acidity, medium bubbles, and a medium acidic apple and apricot finish. A great greeter, or pairing with nearly any hors d'oeuvre.

The opening wine to the Winemaker's dinner with Ruffino!

A persistant stream of bubbles on this lovely offering. Aromatic fresh fruit on the nose and palate, with citrus, and stone fruit being notable and a supportive role of biscuit and slight earthiness as well.

Salute!

A very approachable (and value priced) Prosecco exhibiting beautiful orchard fruit and a pleasant note of fresh baked bread. Refreshing fine bubbles make this wine great on its own, yet pairs wonderfully with your favourite appetizers. This would make a great house-bubbly to keep on-hand (and chilled) for those impromptu celebrations or just to enjoy on a Friday evening. 89 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
