Santedame

 

A Ruffino estate in the Chianti Classico area


The cellar





 

The grape reception area and the vinification cellar for the wines which are produced on the Santedame estate is located behind the villa, right next to a young Sangiovese vineyard.

 

 

Santedame features a small ageing cellar, positioned underground, which naturally maintains a healthy temperature and humidity level for the preservation of the barrels and the refinement of the wines.

 

 

It is here that we find the French barriques where the Romitorio di Santedame is carefully aged. 



From the estate centre one can also see Ruffino's olive mill, surrounded by olive trees, located on the opposite side of the estate, on a hill called "Pianamici."

 

In the Santedame olive mill Ruffino produces 3 different extra virgin olive oils. The olive trees from this estate, of the varieties Frantoio and Moraiolo, give fruit to the production of a Laudemio olive oil, a very delicate and gentile extra virgin olive oil which reflects the rigid production rules imposed by the Consorzio del Laudemio.
