Credit the Duke of Aosta — the Ducale referenced on the label — with helping to make this flagship red from Ruffino a global success. The current vintage is a beautifully structured wine that shows the bright and complex character of Sangiovese-based blends. This is a dry, medium-bodied red with a polished presentation that makes it an exceptional dining partner. It’s a winning match for meaty dishes, such as pasta Bolognese.
