Ruffino Prosecco has been produced from grapes grown in highly sought-after vineyards located in the northeastern regions of Italy, defined by the Prosecco DOC code of production.

The selected grapes of Prosecco first undergo a traditional white wine vinification. Then the wine undergoes the Charmat Method, which consists of a natural refermentation in pressurized tanks using selected yeasts. This process, lasting approximately one month, provides refined bubbles and preserves the fruity aromas typical of the Prosecco varietal.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif, but also quite versatile as a food companion. Ruffino Prosecco perfectly matches with pizza margherita, seafood, and shellfish dishes.
