The "Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano DOCG" from the Soraldo winery, presented here in an impressive 1.5-liter Magnum bottle packaged in an elegant wooden case, embodies the excellence and winemaking tradition of the Historic De Ricci Wineries. This wine is produced in the renowned Montepulciano region, in the heart of Tuscany, an area famous for its rich history and its soils particularly suited to viticulture.

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is predominantly made from Sangiovese grapes, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, which impart a robust structure and a distinctive aromatic profile to the wine. The production process follows traditional methods that preserve the authenticity and deep connection to the land.

Visually, the wine presents with an intense ruby red color that leans towards garnet as it ages. On the nose, it reveals complex and seductive aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, chocolate, and a subtle hint of tobacco, all harmoniously integrated thanks to the elegant barrel aging.

On the palate, Soraldo's "Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano" offers a well-balanced structure with fine tannins and a persistent freshness that invites another sip. The aftertaste is long and complex, with a lingering fruity and spicy echo that remains imprinted on the palate.

This wine is ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. Perfect for special occasions, it is a wine that can be appreciated immediately or left to rest in the cellar to further improve its complexity over time. The presentation in Magnum and wooden case also makes it an impressive gift for any wine lover.

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
