Ruffino Ducale Chianti Classico Riserva is a ruby red color. The bouquet is elegant, with violets, cherries, wild berries and plums. Hints of spices like tobacco, clove and eucalyptus. Riserva Ducale is balanced with delicate tannins. The vibrant acidity, typical of Sangiovese grapes, distinguishes this wine. An enduring finish and a bold structure complete the tasting profile.
James Suckling: 93 Points
This has a toasty character with hints of cardamom, cloves and crushed walnuts with ripe red fruit, plum skins and red flowers in the background. It’s full-bodied with firm, chalky tannins and steady acidity to give it freshness. A little bit of toasted oak at the end. Lengthy and spiced with a crunchy finish.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
This aromatic red combines floral, smoky cherry and raspberry fruit with savory, vegetal notes of tomato leaf and juniper. Fleshy enough to balance the chalky tannins, leaving echoes of fruit and savory elements on the finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
