Description
One of the first Ruffino wines to be produced exclusively from organic grapes. Prugnolo Gentile, the Sangiovese variety grown in the Montepulciano area, differs from Chianti Classico in its hints of ripe fruit and herbaceous notes, intense body and smooth tannins. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of Italy's oldest wines, earning it the title “nobile” (noble), and was the first Italian wine to obtain DOCG status. Ruffino has been producing this wine since 1988.

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
