FEATURED WINERY

Ruffino was established in Pontassieve, near Florence in 1877. Their main headquarters are still located on the same premises, which have since been extended, modernized and equipped with the latest innovative technology, without losing sight of the company's deep rooted attachment to the area.

In the 1920s, the history of Ruffino became entwined with the history of Chianti. The Consortia of Chianti and Chianti Classico were founded and Ruffino developed its identity around these appellations, laying the foundations for extraordinary growth. The first vintage of Riserva Ducale dates to 1927, was named for the Duke of Aosta, who had fallen head over heels for the memorable “Stravecchio” wine, in turn appointing Ruffino as royal supplier.
