Ruffino Prosecco DOC Italian White Sparkling Wine

Start from the grape, because this time we have it. Glera is confirmed, and so is the place, Prosecco DOC. The Prosecco consortium lists Glera as the traditional variety, allows a short list of other permitted grapes up to 15 percent of the blend, and describes the category as floral and fruity, fresh in taste and straw yellow in color. That description is the consortium's, not our tasting note. Ruffino is the brand; the producer itself has not yet told us anything we can verify, so the consortium's account of the category is the most specific description available, and it covers Prosecco at large, not this bottle in particular.

171 shoppers had rated this wine as of August 12, 2026, a count that only a small fraction of the 483 rated wines in our catalog can beat, and their average is 4.67 out of five. In our checks on August 10 and 11, 2026, the price ranged from $12.99 to $21.99 across ten stores, and at that low end the bottle sits in the cheapest quarter of the sparkling wines we track.

Our call: for a shopper buying Prosecco with one eye on the register total, this belongs on the list, priced among the least expensive sparkling wines we track and scored by more shoppers than most of the rated wines we cover. Read the sweetness word on the label before it goes in the cart, since by the consortium's account that term, not the brand name, decides how dry it pours. Pass if you rank bottles purely by average; this one sits below the middle of the rated wines we cover, and its argument is price, not score.
