Product description
From the fossil seabeds of Narni, across the hills of southern Umbria and all the way to the joyful everyday table wines of Marchesi Ruffo della Scaletta: this package lets you discover the full range of one of the most versatile wine estates in the region. Two white wines, a rosé, a remarkable native red grape and a bold Merlot — each with its own character, together one coherent story.
WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE?
1x Selva Umbria Bianco IGT — White · 12-13% · €7.80 per bottle
The Selva is the house wine of Marchesi Ruffo della Scaletta: made to drink well every day, without thinking twice. Equal parts Trebbiano and Malvasia, aged on fine lees, result in a fresh, immediately appealing white wine. In the glass a delicate straw yellow with a pleasant, fragrant nose of fresh fruit, flowers and a subtle hint of cinnamon. On the palate lively, smooth and easy to drink, with a beautiful balance between acidity and texture. The perfect house wine that adapts to any occasion. Great with starters, fish, pasta or simply as an aperitif. Serve at 8-10°C.
1x Nar Umbria Vermentino IGP — White · 13% · €12.20 per bottle
Nar is named after the Nera, the river that gave Narni its name. It is the most characterful white wine of the estate: 100% Vermentino, aged in stainless steel on fine lees after a cold maceration. In the glass clear and luminous with an intensely floral and fruity profile. White flowers, citrus and hawthorn make the nose lively and fresh. On the palate the wine is vertical and juicy, dynamic and remarkably flavourful. An excellent aperitif, but equally at home with shellfish, fish, risotto or white meat. Serve at 8-10°C.
1x Rosato Ciliegiolo di Narni IGT — Rosé · 12.5-13% · €12.20 per bottle
The Ciliegiolo is the emblematic grape variety of Narni, and in this rosé it shows its most playful side. Brief skin contact, spontaneous fermentation and ageing in stainless steel give a wine with a delicate, peach-blossom rosé colour. The nose is fresh and inviting: pink fruit and peach with a floral finish. On the palate refreshing and joyful, juicy and harmonious. Serve well chilled at 6-8°C as a stylish aperitif, but it pairs equally well with light pasta dishes, fish, grilled white meat and starters.
1x Ciliegiolo di Narni IGP — Red · 13% · €12.20 per bottle
The red version of Narni's emblematic native grape. The Ciliegiolo is carefully grown on the classic seabeds of the area, harvested at the right ripeness and spontaneously fermented. Never forced. The result is a fresh, fragrant and pleasantly lively red wine with a delicate, brilliant ruby colour. Cherry and forest fruits on the nose, interspersed with spices and a subtle smoky touch. On the palate rare elegance: fresh acidity, fine texture and soft tannins. With charcuterie, cheeses, pasta, poultry and grilled meat. Serve at 14-16°C.
1x Toiano Umbria Rosso IGT — Red · 13-13.5% · €7.80 per bottle
The joyful everyday red wine of the estate. Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo, aged ten months on fine lees and then in bottle, give a ruby red wine of unmatched drinkability. The nose offers blackberry, red forest fruits and subtle spices. On the palate friendly and welcoming, with soft tannins and a pleasant structure. The ideal companion for any occasion, from drinks to charcuterie, pasta, poultry and white meat. Serve at 14-16°C.
1x Camminata Merlot IGP — Red · 13.5% · €12.20 per bottle
The bold choice of the Ruffo della Scaletta family: planting Merlot in Umbria, at the time an unexpected move. Fermentation without added yeast cultures, maceration on the skins and a year of ageing give a harmonious, well-considered red wine. Intense ruby red with aromas of red fruit and forest berries, complemented by subtle herbal notes. On the palate coherent and delicately spiced, with a firm but not intrusive structure. With charcuterie, aged cheeses, meat sauces and grilled meat. Serve at 14-16°C.
