The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Pontassieve, Italy, in 1877 by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, the historic house of Ruffino established itself as a pioneer of quality Tuscan winemaking. For nearly 150 years, the estate has championed the expression of Tuscany's unique terroir, becoming one of the most recognized Italian wine brands globally.

How it is made

Riserva Ducale was first crafted in 1927 to honor the Duke of Aosta, who traveled to the winery to secure this exceptional Chianti for his royal court. The winery & vineyard sites utilize traditional Sangiovese grapes grown in the rocky, clay-limestone soils of the Chianti Classico DOCG region.
