Ruffino Information

Ruffino, founded in 1877 in Pontassieve, near Florence, is synonymous with the history of wine in Tuscany. Great Tuscan classics such as Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Ducale Oro, Romitorio di Santedame, Chianti Ruffino and Brunello di Montalcino Greppone Mazzi, have always been at the heart of Ruffino’s production. However the company’s thirst for new challenges has resulted in the creation of striking Supertuscans, including the multi-award-winning Modus and Alauda, and other wines made from international grape varieties, together with the acquisition of a new winery in Veneto for the production of Prosecco and Pinot Grigio (2018). At the end of 2011, Ruffino was acquired by Constellation Brands, the #1 wine company in the United States, marking an exciting new chapter in Ruffino’s 142-year history. Today, Ruffino is firmly rooted in Tuscany, while always embracing the complex challenges of the global market, distributed in almost 90 countries worldwide.
