Description
Grape Varieties: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
The first vintage of Riserva Ducale was made in 1927 to pay tribute to the Duke of Aosta who loved this wine. Twenty years later, Ruffino celebrated the extraordinary 1947 vintage by making the first Riserva Ducale Oro. Riserva Ducale Oro is only produced in exceptional vintages in order to allow this wine for age at length.
