Ruffino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Ducale Oro 2019
No words can describe what this wine means to Ruffino. A modern classic, Riserva Ducale Oro alone can recount over sixty years of qualitative evolution in Italian oenology. Riserva Ducale Oro has an unmistakable style, a vehicle for traditions even older than the wine. It is an integral part of the history of Chianti Classico - of the strong character, the innate desire to accept new challenges, together with the passion and warmth that animates this land.

Colour

Ruby red.

Bouquet

The impact is spicy on fruity notes of cherry and plum. Aromatic notes of tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper complement the elegant and refined bouquet.

Flavour

Full-bodied, with elegant, well-integrated tannins and good acidity. The finish offers pleasant sensations of sweet tobacco. The aftertaste is particularly persistent and recalls clear hints of plum and notes of clove.
