Ruffino Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Red Wine is a complex and deep red wine blend containing sangiovese, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon red grape varieties. This red blend wine is characterized by cherry and red berry fruit notes with delicately spiced hints of tobacco, leather, cedar, white pepper, and a touch of flint. Featuring velvety tannins, firm acidity, and a lingering finish of rosemary, this chianti wine is well balanced on the palate. Each bottle of this Ruffino wine is made with a careful selection of the best grapes from the traditional Chianti Classico production region. Pair a glass of this Italian red wine with favorites like prosciutto, mushroom risotto, or chicken cacciatore.

There's intensity to this red, which showcases flavors of cherry, boysenberry and blood orange, with iron, underbrush and tobacco notes peeking through as this builds to the lingering aftertaste. Verges on racy courtesy of the bracing acidity, with excellent length. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2040. 130,000 cases made, 90,000 cases imported. --BS
