Characteristic: Red wine, dry
Denomination: Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Grape Variety: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot e 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Terroir: Gretole
Vinification: the Ducale Oro ages in oak, stainless steel and concrete vats for 36 months, twelve months longer than required by Italian law. The wine then spends an additional six months in bottle (three months longer than required by Italian law).
Description: Twenty years after the first release of Riserva Ducale in 1927, Ruffino produced its first Riserva Ducale Oro to commemorate an exceptional vintage year. That tradition continues today. Riserva Ducale Oro is produced only in outstanding vintages. If the grapes don’t meet the winemaker’s exacting standards, the wine will not be made. Riserva Ducale Oro’s distinctive Tuscan bouquet offers notes of violet, cherry and plum. This wine has a well-defined structure and a generous, fruity core accented by hints of chocolate and cinnamon. Full bodied and well balanced, Riserva Ducale Oro has round yet impressive tannins that lead to a lengthy finish.
Pairings: Riserva Ducale Oro pairs exquisitely with traditional Italian dishes such as pasta Bolognese, wild boar ragù, and eggplant Parmesan. It’s also wonderful with classic American dishes such as grilled ribeye and roasted vegetables.
