Producer Information: Ruffino
Ruffino, established in 1877 in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti region, was founded by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino who sought to capture the essence of their local terroir through meticulous winemaking. Rooted in the rolling hills near Florence, Ruffino has long championed a philosophy centered on expressing regional character and authenticity, utilizing traditional methods such as extended maceration and careful oak aging to highlight Sangiovese’s vibrant acidity and structure. Beyond their celebrated Chianti Classico, Ruffino crafts a diverse portfolio including Super Tuscan blends like Modus from Montalcino vineyards, crisp Pinot Grigio from Veneto, and sparkling Prosecco that reflects northeastern Italy’s cooler climate. Their commitment to sustainable viticulture across multiple Italian appellations further distinguishes their approach within the landscape of premium Italian wine producers.
