Descripción
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.

Ruffino se fundó en 1877 en Pontassieve, a las afueras de Florencia: la sede central sigue estando en los mismos lugares que las fábricas históricas, que se han ampliado, reestructurado y equipado con tecnología de vanguardia a lo largo de los años, sin olvidar nunca su historicidad y el vínculo con su territorio de origen.
El valor producido por el Grupo Ruffino en 2019 fue de más de 130 millones de euros. El volumen de negocios procedente de las exportaciones es importante: Ruffino se distribuye a nivel mundial gracias a una red de ventas bien desarrollada y articulada.
