RUFFINO, PRINCE OF CHIANTI CLASSICO.

Ruffino wines have always been considered the leaders in Chianti Classico - as early as 1877, the products made a name for themselves beyond the borders of Italy.

Nestled in the picturesque Tuscan hills of Chianti, the exclusive estates Ruffino combine identity and modernity with unspoilt nature and valuable knowledge about wine. Modern techniques are just as much a priority as carefully tended vineyards and the necessary attention to sustainability.

When the winery was founded in 1877, the visionary cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino already agreed that the secret of top Tuscan wines lies in the respectful dialogue between people and nature.

Building upon a strong presence in the top winemaking regions of Tuscany, like Chianti Classico, Montalcino and Bolgheri and leveraging over 140 years of winemaking mastery, today Ruffino ambitious is to be established as the ultimate Tuscan fine wine house.

Riserva Ducale Oro is the iconic Ruffino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione.

It all started in 1947, a spectacular vintage in Tuscany for Sangiovese grapes.

Riserva Ducale Oro is crafted to age gracefully and its vintages are still sought after by collectors today.

A CONCRETE COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY.

The company, that since 2018 had already introduced sustainable practices in the management of its estates certified by SNQPI and Biodiversity Friend certification, decided to take a step further in this direction with the organic conversion of its estates that will be completed by the 2024 harvest.

In addition Ruffino’s goals for 2025 call for making its supply chain 100% sustainable, while also acting as a driving force for smaller companies, by cutting emissions by 15% (50% by 2030).
