Aqua di Venus Rosé IGT - Ruffino

Aqua di Venus Rosé IGT - Ruffino presents a delicately shimmering rosé with hints of salmon pink and a subtle copper gleam. In the glass, it unfolds an aromatic interplay of red berries, white blossoms, and Mediterranean herbs. A touch of wet limestone minerality lends additional tension and elegance to the nose. On the palate, the wine displays a crisp, light texture that makes every sip seem wonderfully clear and precise.

Production of Aqua di Venus Rosé IGT by Ruffino

The grapes for Aqua di Venus Rosé IGT - Ruffino come from selected sites in Toscana IGT, where sea breezes and sun-drenched slopes create ideal conditions. The Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, intensifies the aromas in the berries while preserving precise freshness. Calcareous and partly sandy soils shape the wine’s character: they lend elegance, delicate minerality, and remarkable clarity on the palate.

The grapes are harvested carefully and gently to ensure that only flawless, aromatically ripe berries reach the cellar. The grape varieties enter the vinification process separately so that their individual characters remain unaltered. A short period of skin contact extracts the desired rosé colour and fine tannins from the grape skins without compromising the wine’s lightness. This is followed by gentle pressing, which softly separates the juice from the skins.

Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This preserves the delicate fruit in all its facets, allowing the rosé to show clarity, freshness, and aromatic distinction. Maturation on the fine lees adds further creaminess and creates a harmonious mouthfeel without overshadowing the crisp style.

The Ruffino house style is reflected in every bottle: precision, elegance, and a pronounced sense of balance between fruit, freshness, and structure. The cuvée composition is created only after intensive tastings of the individual lots. Each grape variety receives its precise proportion so that aroma, colour, and texture merge seamlessly. The result is a rosé wine that complements both relaxed enjoyment and sophisticated wine occasions.

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature of approximately 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in a high-quality white wine glass is recommended. The cooler temperature highlights freshness and fruit, while the floral and spicy nuances gradually open up as the wine warms in the glass. A bottle is ideally suited to immediate enjoyment after purchase, although it shows its most appealing side within the first three years after the harvest.

1. Serving temperature: 8–10 °C in a white wine glass
2. Occasion: aperitif, garden party, romantic dinner, summer cuisine
3. Storage: lying down, protected from light, at a constant, cool temperature
