About the Winery

Emerging from the heart of the Tuscan countryside is the internationally renowned Ruffino Winery. First established in 1877 by two dedicated cousins, Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, the winery has, over the years, etched its name deeply into the lineage of Italy's premier wine producers.

Their journey as vintners started with a modest 40-hectare vineyard in the Chianti region. Their commitment to enhancing the qualities of the Sangiovese grape varietal played a pivotal role in elevating both the stature of Chianti wines and the reputation of Italian wines in general.
