Ruffino Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale Oro Gold
"Expressive and generous with a smoky, earthy edge, offering aromas of ripe berries, warm spices, subtle dried flowers and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with an elegant tannin frame and a layered fruit flow. The finish is smooth, velvety and nicely persistent. Compact and long. Drink or hold.." 94 Points, James Suckling
Ruffino Description
"A minimum of 80% Sangiovese plus Cabernet and Merlot.
Colour: Ruby red with garnet hues.
Aroma: An intense impact with powerful notes of cherry, plum and violet opens a bouquet that then fades into neat aromas of tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon and spicy hints of black pepper. Great complexity in the overall bouquet, neat expressions of the authentic Sangiovese and Chianti Classico aromas.
Tasting profile: Full-bodied, very powerful in its fruity notes, with elegant tannins perfectly supported by a good acidity. The finish is characterized by pleasant sensations of sweet tobacco. The aftertaste is particularly long and shows powerful notes of plums and lighter aromas of clove."
