James Suckling 94 Points: Expressive and generous with a smoky, earthy edge, offering aromas of ripe berries, warm spices, subtle dried flowers and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with an elegant tannin frame and a layered fruit flow. The finish is smooth, velvety and nicely persistent. Compact and long. Drink or hold.
Winemaker 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.
One out of every three bottles of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione opened in the world is Riserva Ducale Oro.
Tasting Notes: Ruby red with garnet hues. The wine expresses a distinctive Tuscan bouquet of violet, cherry, and plum, with aromas of chocolate and spice. Intense aromas of violet, blackberry, cherry, and ripe plum with intriguing notes of cinnamon and clove. Classic elegance and structure in which the fruit, tannins, and spices form a tightly woven balance, with a lingering finish of chocolate and coffee.

Critics Notes
"This shows notes of dried cherries and red plums with cured meat, dried sage and tree bark undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of structure. Ripe and velvety tannins with a fluid and polished mid-palate. Flavorful and intense."
