Descrizione

The Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano DOCG by Soraldo, crafted by the Historic De Ricci Cellars, is an excellent example of elegance and complexity, reflecting the prestigious terroir of Montepulciano. This refined red wine is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, carefully selected from vineyards nestled in the Tuscan hills, renowned for their rich soil and centuries-old winemaking tradition.

The aging process takes place in large oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop a balanced structure and enrich itself with complex aromatic nuances. The De Ricci cellar, with its long tradition and meticulous attention to winemaking, ensures that each bottle fully expresses the characteristics of the region.

Upon tasting, the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Soraldo reveals notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by hints of violet, tobacco, and sweet spices, a legacy of its aging in wood. The palate is seduced by silky tannins and a lively freshness, concluding in a long and persistent finish. Its structure makes it ideal to pair with hearty dishes like roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.

With every sip, this Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano not only promises a rich tasting experience, but also tells the story of one of the most renowned areas of Tuscany. It represents an excellent choice for wine enthusiasts seeking to discover wines with a strong territorial identity and timeless elegance.

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
