Ruffino - Il Ducale
"60% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, 20% Syrah
Colour: Ruby red with violet reflections
Aroma: The bouquet is very intense and denotes a pleasant complexity, with notes of cassis, cherries jam, plums and chocolate. Then it fades into very clean flavours of tobacco, vanilla, eucalyptus and spice. These pleasant spicy notes added by Syrah exalts the sensations of red and black fruit and aromatic herbs, given by Sangiovese as well as the roundness typical of Merlot.
Tasting profile: Harmonic and well balanced with its important body supported by a pleasant freshness .The initial predominance of fruity notes slowly matches with round and elegant tannins. The aftertaste is long and satisfying with refined notes of ripe fruits together with aromas of pepper, vanilla and balsamic herbs."
