Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG Ruffino

Red wine, 75 cl, Tuscany, Italy, 2018

Wine Spectator: 94/100

Deep ruby red with garnet nuances. Complex aromas on the nose, ranging from dog rose to botanicals and freshly baked cake, followed by light spicy notes and a complex bouquet of quinine and citrus. The tannin structure heralds a robust yet elegant, powerful impression on the palate, followed by a remarkably long finish.

producer

Ruffino

Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino, inspired by their love for this land and by the call of the noble wines that thrive on the hills of Chianti, founded Casa Ruffino in 1877. In 1913, Italo and Francesco Folonari took over the Ruffino winery and enriched it with new vitality and activity, without forgetting the time-honored philosophy of the house.
In 1927, the first Chianti Riserva Ducale was vinified, in recognition and memory of the Duke of Aosta, the first and most significant admirer of Ruffino wines. To this day, this wine is among the most famous in the world from Tuscany. Besides the various Chiantis, Ruffino offers other wines, such as the Supertuscan "Modus" launched in 1997.
