The Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Riserva appears a ruby red color in the glass. The nose reveals an elegant bouquet of violets, cherries, wild berries and plums, followed by tobacco, clove and eucalyptus nuances. Riserva Ducale is balanced with delicate tannins on the palate. The vibrant acidity, typical of Sangiovese, distinguishes this wine. An enduring finish and a bold structure complete the tasting profile.

Enjoy this timeless Tuscan gem with Italian favorites such as prosciutto and other antipasti, mushroom risotto, pasta Bolognese, and chicken cacciatore. Or, pair it with simple grilled meats and roasted vegetables for a classic Tuscan meal.

80% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.

Depending on the vintage, the maceration can last from 10 to 20 days. Riserva Ducale matures for at least 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks for the Sangiovese, and in barriques/tonneaux for the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aging continues in concrete for another 9 months and in the bottle for 3 months before release.

The grapes come from estate-owned vineyards and from selected historic Chianti Classico growers with whom Ruffino has established a true partnership.
