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.

Grapes for Riserva Ducale Oro come from selected vineyards from the Ruffino Estates of Gretole and Santedame, located in the heart of Castellina in Chianti.
