THE STORY
"Riserva Ducale Oro, produced for the first time in 1947, is an evolution of the wine Riserva Ducale, which saw the light in 1927.
There are no words to describe exactly how much this wine means to Ruffino. Riserva Ducale Oro is a modern classic. It tells the tale of the quality evolution, which has characterized the last 50 years of Italy's fine wine production.
Riserva Ducale Oro has a distinctive style, recognizable through the decades of the twentieth century. It conveys the ancient traditions of its homeland. This wine is an iatrical part of the history of the people of Chianti Classico. Its nature reflects their strong character, their innate will to find new challenges, their passion for the extraordinary territory, which is their home. Terroir" is a word that defines the relationship between soil, climate and human intervention. The interaction of these components results in the characteristics, which are often defined as a wine's typicality, identity and personality. Being well aware of the importance of terroir, the House of Ruffino has searched continuously for the ideal Ruffino wine. In the years after World War II, this research led to the creation of Riserva Ducale Oro, as a natural development of the Riserva Ducale and as a symbol of a new challenge which Ruffino set itself in the Chianti region: what is the real quality and ageing potential of Chianti Sangiovese. This wine, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2007, bears a particular significance to Ruffino. Riserva Ducale Oro is produced only in the very best vintages. One of this extraordinary wine's main features is, in fact, its longevity".
