Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Riserva 2021

A still red from the heart of Tuscany, Chianti Classico Riserva, produced by Ruffino. 0.75L bottle, 2021 vintage. A tribute to the Duke of Aosta, a wine that embodies the history and tradition of Ruffino, official supplier to the royal family since 1890. Riserva Ducale is a tribute to the Duke of Aosta, who in the late 19th century fell in love with the Chianti that Ruffino aged in large oak barrels. The bouquet is extremely elegant, characterized by fragrant fruity and floral notes. Violets, cherries, berries, and plums are complemented by spicy hints of tobacco and white peppercorns. Delicate notes of roses and flint linger on the nose. Intense and velvety, with sensations of fragrant fresh fruit accompanied by sweet yet consistent tannins that enhance the pleasant spicy flavors. The entire tasting sensation is enriched by a lingering finish, incredibly fresh with a pleasant minerality and an aftertaste with intriguing notes of rosemary.
