Lingua Franca and Ruffino Wines Named to Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2025

Constellation is thrilled to share that two exceptional wines from our portfolio have earned a place among the world’s best on Wine Spectator’s prestigious Top 100 Wines of 2025₁ list:

• 2022 Lingua Franca Avni Pinot Noir from Lingua Franca Winery in Oregon (Ranked #16)
  
• 2021 Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico from Ruffino Estates in Italy (Ranked #17)

Wine Spectator Review - 2022 Lingua Franca Avni Pinot Noir (94 points)
“Dynamic and precise, this features a core of steely acidity that frames expressive flavors of raspberry and guava, laced with crushed stone, forest floor and dusky spice notes that gather tension and richness toward fine-grained tannins."

Wine Spectator Review - 2021 Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico (93 points)
“There's intensity to this red, which showcases flavors of cherry, boysenberry and blood orange, with iron, underbrush and tobacco notes peeking through as this builds to the lingering aftertaste. Verges on racy courtesy of the bracing acidity, with excellent length."
