Ruffino Il Ducale Toscana IGT Red Wine is a modern, fruit-forward wine with a pleasant freshness. Each sip features notes of cassis, cherries, plums, and chocolate, accompanied by aromas of vanilla, tobacco, eucalyptus, and spice. Born from Ruffino's century-old winemaking traditions, this fine wine combines sangiovese, syrah and merlot grapes sourced from the most prestigious winegrowing regions of Tuscany. That blend of varietals creates a well-balanced, full-bodied Italian red wine with initial bright and fruity notes, round and elegant tannins and a lingering finish which leaves traces of ripe fruits, vanilla, herbs and black pepper. This Ruffino wine is the perfect companion for herb roasted chicken, sun-dried tomato risotto, and beef carpaccio. It also pairs well with tomato bruschetta, Parmigiano Reggiano, or Pecorino Romano cheeses. For best taste and quality, store this bottle of wine at room temperature and then chill for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
