Il Ducale | Range | Ruffino

Il Ducale is a modern Tuscan wine born from Ruffino’s century-old winemaking traditions. An innovative blend of Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot—in 2005 as an expression of Tuscany that marries the refinement of traditional Tuscan winemaking with a contemporary, fruit-driven style. The Sangiovese contributes elegance, acidity and finesse. The Merlot brings colour, 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.
