Never had the chance to taste a Ruffino wine? Well, the opportunity is here as the Burns House Group of Companies hosts a 'Ruffino Wine Lover's Tasting' event at which you can sample white and red wine offerings from the winery that has been producing wines for more than 130 years.
The wines will be paired with hors d'oeuvres prepared by Compass Point chefs.
The Wine Lover's Tasting event will be held on Thursday, April 10 at Butler & Sands, Caves Village from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. showcasing the wines with price points that range from $15 to $40.
Patrons will be able to indulge in the white offering, a Ruffino Orvieto Classico, a wine that has fresh floral aromas, a crisp acidity and said to be an alternative to a Pinot Grigio.
The four offerings from the red selection on the night will include a Ruffino Nobile De Montepulciano, which has a round palate that offers velvety, steady tannins for an elegant and well-balanced structure, highlighting the wine's fruity core. The flavors persist through a lingering and smooth finish; The Ruffino Chianti Aziano is fruity and harmonious, with a taste that reveals velvety tannins and an elegant texture. A long and persistent aftertaste with hints of plums and violet characterizes the wine; The Ruffino Chianti Reserva Ducale is well balanced and medium-bodied on the palate. The taste reveals deep, elegant tannins, firm acidity and a lingering finish of rosemary and figs. The Ruffino Chianti Florentine DOCG's is soft on the palate with a medium body and nice balance, displaying pleasantly fruity characteristics.
The tasting event will pair the Ruffino Orvieto Classico with snapper chive; the Ruffino Nobile De Montepulciano with pork kabobs; the Ruffino Chianti Aziano with stuffed artichoke and goat cheese; the Ruffino Chianti Reserva Ducale with lemon butter shrimp and the Ruffino Chianti Florentine with beef sati.
Tickets for the tasting are $30 per person.
