Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Ruffino 1966
Ruffino blev grundlagt i 1877 af fætrene Ilario og Leopoldo Ruffino i Pontassieve, en by øst for Firenze ved Arnoflodens dal. Gennem næsten halvandet århundrede har det historiske vinhus været en central aktør i Toscana. Denne rødvin er husets klassiske flagskib, Riserva Ducale, som har eksisteret siden 1927. Navnet stammer fra hertugen af Aosta, der gav vingården tilladelse til at benytte titlen som leverandør til det hertugelige hof. Vinen er aftappet af Chianti Ruffino på hjemmebasen i Pontassieve.
Vinen kommer fra Chianti Classico, som udgør Toscanas historiske kerneområde beliggende mellem Firenze og Siena. Området er en af Italiens vigtigste appellationer og bærer i dag sin egen DOCG-status med det sorte hane-symbol, selvom denne specifikke flaske er tappet under den daværende DOC-klassifikation. Druerne er vinificeret i den klassiske oprindelseszone. Årgang 1966 i dette område har opnået en score på 87 point og beskrives som en årgang med god dybde og struktur.
Den bærende drue i vinen er Sangiovese, som er en italiensk hoveddrue. I Chianti Classico udgør den fundamentet for produktionen og skal repræsentere mindst 80 procent af indholdet. Sangiovese dyrkes primært i Toscana, men er også udbredt i regioner som Umbrien og Emilia Romagna samt i Californien.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Tuscany
Tuscany is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions, with roots reaching back to the Etruscans. Sangiovese is the undisputed principal grape and forms the basis for classics such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. From the 1970s the prestigious Super Tuscans also emerged along the coast. The rolling hills produce structured red wines with cherry, herbs and firm tannins.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
