Description

The Sangiovese IGT Rupe del Sasso from De Ricci Cantine Storiche tells the authentic soul of Tuscany, a vital expression of a dedicated territory where the main grape of central Italy is expressed with intensity and finesse. The Sangiovese grapes, carefully cultivated in a mineral-rich terroir with well-drained soils, give life to this elegant wine, characterized by a careful aging in wooden barrels that enhances its structure and gives depth to the aromas.

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby red color, accompanied by scents of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, and light hints of tobacco and leather that intertwine harmoniously. The palate reveals a pleasant freshness and soft tannins, capable of expressing balance and longevity. Perfect paired with red meats and aged cheeses, the Rupe del Sasso in magnum size captures the tradition and passion of the vine, embodying a complete sensory experience.

Winery history

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

Pursuit of excellence through the reinterpretation of tradition: a strong focus on Sangiovese, sustainable/organic viticultural practices, hand-harvesting and targeted vinifications to highlight the characteristics of individual crus and different parcels.

Terroir and vineyards

Municipality of Montepulciano, with vineyards located in three main areas: Ascianello, Fontecornino, and Fontago.

Awards and recognitions

The 'SorAldo' selection and some De'Ricci wines have been cited and positively reviewed in national wine guides and publications.
