RUFFINO RISERVA DUCALE GRAPPA
PLEASE NOTE: All orders containing Spirits are only available for store pickup.
Like many Italian winemakers, Ruffino had traditionally sold its pressed skins to distilleries. The distilleries then used these skins to produce grappa. However, Ruffino knew how carefully it handled its best grapes for its finest wines - and realized it was missing an opportunity to create a truly exceptional grappa.
Ruffino introduced Grappa Riserva Ducale Oro in 1993, produced from the marc of the companys flagship wine Riserva Ducale Oro.
The quality of Grappa Riserva Ducale Oro relies on two very important elements:
1) The freshness of the pressed Sangiovese skins that are sealed in small containers until they are distilled in order to preserve the integrity of the perfumes.
2) The time-honoured steam distillation method which produced small amounts of crystal clear premium quality grappa.
Through the combination of these two elements Ruffino presents a grappa characterised by fresh and intense perfumes of wild flowers and pine trees, a full structure and a long, aromatic persistence. This grappa is also surprisingly smooth and velvety, although it reaches an alcohol strength of 43%. It is an excellent aperitif, but it is also perfect after dinner, to accompany a nice cup of Italian espresso.
