The story
The estate's roots are tied to caves hewn in tuff since Etruscan times; the first documented cellar on the site dates back to 1337, and in the 16th century the so-called "Cattedrale del Vino" was created. In the 20th century ownership passed to local families and, through interventions in recent decades, the estate was reorganized under the leadership of the Trabalzini family, consolidating the De'Ricci brand and opening the new winemaking center Tenuta Fontecornino in 2017. In recent years the cru selection "SorAldo" has been introduced.
Production philosophy
