Aujourd'hui, les zones viticoles comptent plus de 600 hectares de vignobles, répartis en huit domaines : six en Toscane - Poggio Casciano, Montemasso, Santedame, Gretole, La Solatia et Greppone Mazzi - et deux en Vénétie : Cà del Duca et La Duchessa.
Ruffino a été fondée en 1877 à Pontassieve, dans la banlieue de Florence : le siège social est toujours situé dans les mêmes lieux que les usines historiques, qui ont été agrandies, restructurées et équipées de technologies d'avant-garde au fil des ans, sans jamais oublier leur historicité et le lien avec leur territoire d'origine.
La valeur produite par le groupe Ruffino en 2019 a été de plus de 130 millions d'euros. Le chiffre d'affaires à l'exportation est important : Ruffino est distribué dans le monde entier grâce à un réseau de vente bien développé et articulé. Depuis 2011, l'entreprise fait partie de Constellation Brands, une société américaine leader dans le secteur de la bière, du vin et des spiritueux. Lire la suite
