Ruby red color with garnet hues. Intense notes of cherry, plum, and violet stand out, unfurling a more complex bouquet with hints of eucalyptus, chocolate, and black pepper. It is a wine of impressive structure with elegant tannins supported by nice acidity. The finish is characterized by pleasing sensations of tobacco with a persistent finish that recalls clear hints of plum and balsamic notes. Riserva Ducale Oro will age gracefully for decades.
Ruffino Description
In 1927, the inaugural Riserva Ducale vintage was crafted as a homage to the wine-loving Duke of Aosta. Two decades later, in 1947, Ruffino commemorated the exceptional vintage by introducing the inaugural Riserva Ducale Oro, heralding the concept of Gran Selezione ahead of its time. Its potential for decades of aging is matched only by its historical significance.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
This is broad and evokes plum, cherry, earth and iron aromas and flavors, picking up a salty taste while evolving on the palate. Supple in texture and nicely balanced, this is driven by lively acidity, with a light grip of tannins on the extensive finish.
James Suckling: 94 Points
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.
