Description
Intense notes of cherry, plum and violet stand out, unfurling a more complex bouquet with hints of eucalyptus, chocolate and black pepper. A wine of impressive structure with elegant tannins supported by good acidity. The finish is characterised by pleasing sensations of sweet tobacco with a persistent finish that recalls clear hints of plum and balsamic notes. The Riserva Ducale Oro will age gracefully for decades.
