Notes | |||
"Ruby red. 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." —winemaker Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This shows notes of dried cherries and red plums with cured meat, dried sage and tree bark undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of structure. Ripe and velvety tannins with a fluid and polished mid-palate. Flavorful and intense. Better after 2025." —James Suckling |
