Interesting facts
| La Solatìa Pinot Grigio was first produced in 2002; the vineyard is located near the medieval village of Monteriggioni in Siena, Tuscany. The soil is rich in limestone and fossil material from the Pliocene era, contributing to its unique character. Ruffino aims to be fully organic by 2025. |
