The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG - Magnum - Wooden Case, crafted by the Historic De Ricci Cellars, represents one of the most authentic and refined expressions of Tuscan viticulture. Packaged in an impressive Magnum bottle and presented in an elegant wooden case, this wine is ideal for connoisseurs seeking an exclusive product that combines history, tradition, and superior quality.

With a strictly DOCG designation, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is produced exclusively in Montepulciano, in the province of Siena. The grapes used, primarily Sangiovese (locally known as Prugnolo Gentile), are cultivated in carefully selected vineyards to ensure a harvest of exceptional quality. This wine undergoes a minimum of two years of aging, with at least one year in oak barrels, which imparts to the wine noteworthy complexity and structure.

The Magnum bottle amplifies the tasting experience, allowing the wine to evolve and mature with greater exposure to oxygen, thus enhancing its aromatic and taste qualities. On the nose, De Ricci's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG reveals intense notes of ripe red fruit, sweet spices, and nuances of tobacco and chocolate, a result of its meticulous aging in wood.

On the palate, it is velvety and well-balanced, with an elegant tannic structure and an enveloping persistence of flavors that reflect the true essence of Sangiovese grapes. The aftertaste is long and complex, with a finish that invites deep sensory reflections.

This prestigious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG is not only an excellent companion for rich dishes such as Florentine steak or stewed wild boar, but it also stands out as an ideal protagonist for special occasions, tastings, or as a meaningful gift for enthusiasts of high-end Tuscan wines.

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.

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