Ruby red with garnet hues. Intense notes of cherry, plum and violet stand out, unfurling a more complex bouquet with hints of eucalyptus, black pepper and coffee beans. A wine of impressive structure with elegant and soft tannins supported by nice acidity.
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.
James Suckling: 95 Points
An elegant and forthright Gallo Nero with a precise nose of red cherries, eucalyptus and licorice with balsamic nuances. A lush and supple palate with a full body and dense, velvety tannins that are precise and spicy. Crisp yet integrated acidity in the finish. Savory aftertaste. Drink or hold.
