Ruffino
Riserva Ducale Oro Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese
This Gran Selezione is only produced in outstanding vintages, aged for 36 months. Dark Ruby with aromas of red fruits and earthy spice on the nose. On the palate ripe cherries, plum and dark fruit come with cinnamon spice, tobacco and cacao. Well developed tight tannins, good balance, sweet oak, long finish ending with a jolt of earthy spice. A tremendous value. Outstanding, but decant first!

2014 gold label. Cherry flavors with other dark fruit. Drinking very well. Ends with a leather finish.
