Ruffino - Chianti Classico - Riserva Ducale Oro Gran Selezione 2017

Keywords: Elegant / Complex / Refined

Wine: Riserva Ducale Oro represents a point of reference for all of Chianti. Created in 1947 to honor the Duke of Aosta, this delicious cuvée made mainly from the Sangiovese grape variety was aged for 36 months (part of which in oak barrels and tuns) and is produced only in the best vintages. This bottle reveals all its finesse through elegant notes of cherry, plum, leather and spices (pepper, cinnamon, licorice). An iconic wine to be enjoyed now or left to mature in the cellar for many years.
