On the nose, the impact is decisive, with notes of ripe plums, cassis and cherries in alcohol in the foreground. The ensemble of olfactory sensations offers an extraordinarily complex and elegant bouquet composed of fine and very sharp sensations of incense, accompanied by cocoa and sweet tobacco.

The Ruffino Group is a composite business in a strong growth phase. The company now employs 300 people whose work contributes to the business’s continual development.

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

Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino is a rich wine with intense and elegant aromas, suitable for pairing with tasty dishes with a strong flavour, such as lamb loin, seared duck breast with grilled mushrooms, or a first course with wild boar sauce. It is also perfect with cheeses such as Tuscan Pecorino or Taleggio cheese from Lombardy.

Story Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino is the quintessence of a Brunello: traditional, elegant and deeply rooted in the terroir of Montalcino, the small village in the province of Siena in southern Tuscany. This great wine is made from a particular local Sangiovese clone, Sangiovese Grosso or Brunello, because of its particularly dark skin colour. Famous for its power, longevity and great elegance, this grape gives a wine that excels in strength and finesse.
