From the dream of producing great quality wines, the two cousins Ruffino, Ilario and Leopoldo founded, in 1877, a small winery near Florence, in the enchanting medieval village of Pontassieve. It quickly became one of the main Italian wine producers, also gaining fame abroad thanks to the importation of the first Chianti labels into the United States.

Over 130 years after its foundation in Pontassieve, the Ruffino Group today owns 6 Tuscan estates located in areas with a high wine-growing vocation; from the Senesi Hills, to the Chianti Classico to the hills of Montalcino and continues to express, through every century and every bottle, the history of the region's territory.

Among the symbolic wines of the cellar, the iconic Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale and Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva Ducale Oro (94 pt. James Suckling) emerge, which have their roots in the history of the company and will pair wonderfully with your autumn dishes based on grilled red meats and game. Guarantee of quality, synonymous with great, prestigious and balanced wines , Ruffino represents the union between traditional and modern style, such as the innovative Modus Primo label (94 pt. Wine Enthusiast) , the masterful Supertuscan obtained from Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and Merlot.

To complete the range, there are also elegant whites in which Ruffino enhances the typical characteristic of freshness, fruit and pleasantness of drinking and of course the exclusive Aqua line by Venus, which includes a white, a fascinating rosé and a pleasant brut sparkling wine.
