Sangiovese
Tuscany, Italy
High Quality Reserve Bottling
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.

Great Value from the same producer
Ruffino Ducale Chianti Classico Riserva is a ruby red color. The bouquet is elegant, with violets, cherries, wild berries and plums. Hints of spices like tobacco, clove and eucalyptus. Riserva Ducale is balanced with delicate tannins. The vibrant acidity, typical of Sangiovese grapes, distinguishes this wine. An enduring finish and a bold structure complete the tasting profile.
