About This Wine

Ruffino

IL Ducale Red Blend

Ruffino introduced Il Ducale—an innovative blend of Sangiovese, Syrah, and Merlot. The Sangiovese contributes elegance, acidity, and finesse. The Merlot brings color, structure, and roundness, while the Syrah offers spicy, black fruit notes and a silky texture. This is a wine with classic Tuscan roots and a modern soul.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Vanilla tasting note. Vanilla

Ruby red with violet reflection, Il Ducale shows notes of cassis, cherries, plums, and chocolate, which then fade into aromas of vanilla, tobacco, vanilla, eucalyptus, and spice. The wine opens with fruit-driven notes that unfold into round, elegant tannins. This well-balanced wine finishes with ripe fruits and aromas of vanilla and balsamic herbs.
