Ruffino was founded in 1877, and Riserva Ducale has become one of the house’s best-known wines. The 1971 vintage has now had more than half a century in bottle and offers the opportunity to experience Chianti Classico in a completely different phase from the wines we normally encounter today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a fully mature wine experience, where fresh fruit has given way to more developed nuances of dried cherries, spices, leather, tobacco and forest floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Brolio 1973 – Barone Ricasoli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrolio and the Ricasoli family are closely connected with the history of Chianti.

Five years after Brolio and seven years after Ruffino, you get yet another perspective on how Chianti Classico develops through decades in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mature Sangiovese character is expressed through notes of dried red fruits, spices, leather and earthy nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree bottles.
