Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2021

The 2021 Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro represents the pinnacle of the estate's Chianti Classico production, bearing the prestigious Gran Selezione designation. Sourced from the finest blocks of the Gretole and Santedame estates, this 2021 vintage benefited from a balanced growing season that yielded exceptional concentration. It offers an opulent and multi-layered bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, intertwined with sophisticated notes of violet, tobacco, cedar, and a hint of flinty minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful yet remarkably elegant, showcasing dense, velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and savory, marked by lingering notes of dark fruit and sweet spice.
