| Color | A Provençal-style rosé with a classic powder pink colour and golden reflections, characterised by notes of Mediterranean scrub and a strong sapidity. |
| Perfume | The bouquet is complex, characterised by fruity notes of cherry and strawberry from the Syrah and citrus and floral notes from the Vermentino and Pinot Grigio. The Sangiovese contributes to the freshness on the palate. |
| Taste | On the palate, it is a fresh, savoury, long and persistent wine. |
| History | The name is a tribute to femininity: Venus, symbol of beauty and refined sensuality. The unique design of the bottle is a tribute to Renaissance art, with the ribs symbolising the same veins of the shell from which Venus emerges from the waters in Botticelli's painting. |

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 name is a tribute to femininity: Venus, symbol of beauty and refined sensuality. The unique design of the bottle is a tribute to Renaissance art, with the ribs symbolising the same veins of the shell from which Venus emerges from the waters in Botticelli's painting. |
| Climate | The seasonal climate was characterised by a wet and rainy spring, which required constant commitment and attention at the agronomic level to ensure the health of the vineyards. July and August were very hot, mitigated by thunderstorms and a drop in temperatures. |
| Soil composition | Altitude and soil: 100-250 metres, soils rich in organic matter with a high iron content, mainly clayey or clayey-sandy. |
| Harvest | The grapes are harvested by hand and, as soon as they arrive at the winery, are pressed very gently so as not to dissipate the primary aromas. |
| Wine making | After natural clarification of the must, fermentation took place in steel at low temperature, ensuring maximum enhancement of the organoleptic characteristics. |
| Aging | Once alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine rested for 4 months on fine lees with regular bâtonnage to develop body and roundness. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
