Produced since 1927, the name of this wine is a tribute to the Duke of Aosta, who chose Ruffino as supplier to the royal household in 1890.
Riserva Ducale is one of the few wines in the world that can also use the “Riserva” mention in its name as it preempted the concept prior to the creation of the category.
Ruffino was the first to believe and invest in the Chianti Classico region with three estates and more than 200 hectares within the appellation.
In 2025, with the 2021 vintage, Riserva Ducale ranked among Wine Spectator’s Top 100, placing 17°.
