Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from selected vineyards in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, including Pinot Grigio vineyards owned by Ruffino at the Poderi Ducali estates. The sites stand at 150–250 metres above sea level. Clay- and limestone-rich soils containing sand and gravel contribute elegance and structure.
Grapes
90% Pinot Grigio, 5% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc.
Vinification
The harvested grapes are destemmed, cooled and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats.
Ageing
The wine matures in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats.

Vintage notes
The 2024 growing season brought a rainy spring and a mild summer, with rain in mid-August. These conditions led to optimal grape ripening before harvest.
Label / history
