About this winery
When they founded their winery in 1877, Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino knew that the secret to producing the best Tuscan wines was access to the best vineyards. With this philosophy in mind, Ruffino has assembled over the years a collection of top wineries in the most important fine wine designations in Tuscany. For the company, each of the vineyards is like a jewel - a gift of the land of inestimable value.
