Riserva Ducale Oro is the truest expression of a distinct terroir, 100% sourced from Ruffino's acclaimed Gretole and Santedame Estates in the renowned Castellina subregion of Chianti Classico. Each property offers its own personality and distinguishing characteristics to the final wine: Gretole fruit provides Oro with power, structure, and robust red fruit character, while Santedame offers the wine's trademark finesse and elegance. The vineyards are hilly with poor soils of mixed clay and sand, generally calcareous, and rich in galestro rock. Exposition is variable, with predominantly south, southwest, and southeast facing slopes for ideal ripening with wide day-to-night temperature swings.

VARIETALS: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and Colorino


TASTING NOTES
Color: Ruby red with garnet hues

Aroma: Powerfully aromatic with cherry, plum, and tobacco with notes of eucalyptus, chocolate, and spicy white pepper. Complexity of expression authentic to Sangiovese and Chianti Classico.

Tasting profile: Full-bodied and powerfully fruity with elegant tannins perfectly supported by a good acidity. The finish is characterized by pleasantly sweet tobacco, plums, and balsamic herbs

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

JS94, James Suckling

"Black-cherry and cola aromas with hints of toasted oak. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a tight, linear finish. Hints of mushrooms and cedar. Drink or hold."

WS91, Wine Spectator

"Round and juicy, this red delivers black cherry, plum, tobacco and iron flavors, with a light smoky undertone. Fluid and harmonious, with solid tannins lining the long finish."
