Ruffino Alauda, Rosso, Tuscany, Italy 2018

Description

Introduced in 2011, Alauda represents the pinnacle of Ruffino's artisanal approach and distinctive style. Crafted exclusively in extraordinary vintages, it eloquently captures the essence of the Poggio Casciano and Montemasso estates, uniting indigenous Tuscan reds with premier international grape varieties.

Sourced solely from the vineyards of Tenuta Poggio Casciano: Merlot thrives in the Poggio al Mandorlo vineyard, Cabernet Franc hails from Rapale, and Colorino from Alexander. The vineyards are situated at elevations ranging from 290 to 450 meters, with soil rich in clay, limestone, and minor silt components.
