Item Description
In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make the most known and loved Italian wines in the world from the heart of Tuscany. At their winery in Pontassieve, just outside of Florence, they began producing wines according to a strict quality standard and a rigorous technical research. Soon, Ruffino became an international symbol of the Chianti region, and numerous awards, including the prestigious gold medal at the Bordeaux Wine Fair in 1895, affirmed the quality of its wines.
In 1913 the Folonari family purchased Ruffino and brought new talent, energy and enthusiasm into the company. They started on a nearly century-long pursuit to develop a collection of estates in Tuscany, which all matched the standard of quality and uniqueness which was the trademark of Ruffino's wines.
Over the last sixty years, Ruffino has established seven prominent estates in Tuscany, all situated within the major DOCG production regions including Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti and Chianti Classico, for a total of 1500 hectares of land, with 600 hectares of vineyards. Today, Ruffino continues to meld century-long Tuscan traditions with new state-of-the-art cellar technology, modern winemaking for an ideal symbiosis with the energy of the contemporary Italian lifestyle.
