Product Highlights
Since its first years of production, Riserva Ducale has become synonymous with fine Chianti, and it has played a leading role in the development of the privileged position which Tuscan quality wines hold throughout the world today. In many markets this Riserva has in fact transcended its category and become known simply as ”Riserva Ducale.” It has managed to preserve its excellent reputation through time, thanks to Ruffino’s commitment to cultivating the finest Sangiovese grapes on the slopes of the Chianti Classico hills.
