The company produces and sells more than thirty million bottles across forty labels, most of which come from Tuscany’s historic denominations such as Chianti, Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, in addition to the production of Prosecco and Pinot Grigio in Veneto.
Ruffino grows grapes in over 600 hectares of vineyards across eight estates: six in Tuscany – Poggio Casciano, Montemasso, Santedame, Gretole, La Solatia and Greppone Mazzi – two in Veneto: Cà del Duca and La Duchessa.
Ruffino was established in Pontassieve in 1877, near Florence. The main headquarters is still located on the same premises, which have been extended, modernized and equipped with innovative technology over the years, without ever losing sight of the company’s history and attachment to the local area.
The value produced by the Ruffino Group in 2019 exceeded 130 million euro.
The export revenue is significant: Ruffino is distributed worldwide due to a structured and well-developed commercial network.
Since 2011, the company has been part of Constellation Brands, an American market leader in the beer, wine & spirits sector. Read more

| Story | The name is a homage to femininity: Venus, symbol of beauty and refined sensuality. The unique design of the bottle is a tribute to Renaissance art, the ribs symbolising the same ribs of the shell with which Venus emerges from the waters in Botticelli's painting. |
| Climate | Seasonal climatic trend characterised by a wet and rainy spring that required constant agronomic commitment and attention for the health of the vineyards. Very hot July and August mitigated by thunderstorms and a drop in temperatures. |
| Soil composition | Altitude and soil: 100-250 m., soils rich in organic substance with high iron content, predominantly clayey or clay-sandy. |
| Harvest | The grapes are harvested by hand and, as soon as they arrive at the winery, are pressed very gently so as not to dissipate the primary aromas. |
| Wine making | After natural clarification of the must, fermentation took place in steel at low temperature, ensuring maximum enhancement of the organoleptic characteristics. |
| Aging | After alcoholic fermentation, the wine rests 4 months on its fine lees with regular batonage for body and roundness. |
