Description

Alauda is the contemporary face of oenological Tuscany, which tells of the uniqueness of the terroir of which it is an expression. Three grape varieties, three distinct crus, but the same soul. Alauda is only produced in exceptional vintages and conveys terroir traits in international grape varieties, while the Colorino grape positions this wine in the tradition of Tuscan red wines.

Perfume

The bouquet is extremely intense, characterised by hints of ripe red fruit typical of Merlot. The Cabernet Franc enriches the aroma with herbaceous and smoky notes, while the Colorino gives intense balsamic notes.

The Ruffino Group is a composite business in a strong growth phase. The company now employs 300 people whose work contributes to the business’s continual development.

The company produces and sells more than thirty million bottles across forty labels, most of which come from Tuscany’s historic denominations such as Chianti, Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, in addition to the production of Prosecco and Pinot Grigio in Veneto.

Ruffino grows grapes in over 600 hectares of vineyards across eight estates: six in Tuscany – Poggio Casciano, Montemasso, Santedame, Gretole, La Solatia and Greppone Mazzi – two in Veneto: Cà del Duca and La Duchessa.

Ruffino was established in Pontassieve in 1877, near Florence. The main headquarters is still located on the same premises, which have been extended, modernized and equipped with innovative technology over the years, without ever losing sight of the company’s history and attachment to the local area.

The value produced by the Ruffino Group in 2019 exceeded 130 million euro.

The export revenue is significant: Ruffino is distributed worldwide due to a structured and well-developed commercial network.

Since 2011, the company has been part of Constellation Brands, an American market leader in the beer, wine & spirits sector. Read more

Story The story of Alauda began at the beginning of the new millennium when Ruffino agronomists identified a unique microclimate and soil on the Poggio Casciano estate.
Climate Altitude: 290-450 m. a.s.l.
Soil composition Abundant in clay, limestone and a small percentage of silt.
Wine making Alcoholic fermentation and maceration, aided by periodic punching-down and délestage, occur in thermo-controlled stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation, aided by periodic bâtonnage, ends in new French barriques.
Aging Alauda ages in French barriques for about 24 months. Bottle ageing lasts for about 4 months.
Allergens Contains sulphites
