Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico (1.5L)

Product Description

Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro Chianti Classico 1.5L is the crown jewel of Ruffino’s Chianti portfolio—curated by blackbook for its pedigree, elegance, and unmistakable Tuscan character. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, the Oro designation represents the estate’s highest expression of Chianti Classico, built for depth, longevity, and refined balance.

This large-format 1.5L magnum enhances the wine’s aging potential and presentation, making it ideal for celebrations and collectors. The blend is anchored by Sangiovese, delivering layered red fruit, floral lift, and savory structure, while extended aging adds polish through notes of spice, leather, and refined oak. The result is powerful yet graceful—structured enough for cellaring, expressive enough to enjoy now with proper decanting.

At blackbook, we prioritize iconic European wines that perform at the table and on display. Ruffino Riserva Ducale Oro in magnum form does both—timeless, confident, and unmistakably Italian.
