De'Ricci
Sor Aldo Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese
Tuscany, Italy
Clean, concentrated wine infused with iron edged minerals. Dark, stringent pie cherry with hints of plum and bright acidity cleansing your palate for the next sip. Interestingly, I was able to order it directly from the winery in Montepulciano and shipped to my front door. Such an interesting winery with its location going back over a thousand years. It still uses the cathedral shaped caves on which it sits for aging the wine. A must vist if you end up in that part of the world.

Delightful. So many layers without in your face tannins. Consumed over 3 days with no drop off. Mature dark flowers, cherry and spice on the nose. A lot happening on the palate - mouthwatering cherry currant spice leather soil and more with crisp clear layers . Long satisfying finish.

Apr 2nd, 2023Vino Nobile de Montepulciano is a unique Sangiovese. We fell in love with it when we visited the region. Perhaps a bit of an acquired taste because it has a bit of a stringent dark, earthy, gravel, irony finish following vibrant dark red cherry… but it only takes a glas to get hooked. Paired surprisingly well with aged Gouda cheese proving its robust structure and present earthy umami flavors. The wine is aged in a medieval underground space below the winery with soaring high vaulted ceilings representing a cathedral highlighting wine as a spiritual experience. Also the name of winery goes back the twelve century as a recluse living in the caves, where the winery stands today, was able to read the weather from the behavior of a hedgehog, riccio in Italian.

Oct 31st, 2022Incredible. Vibrant punchy wine with deep dark plum, dark cherry and these earthy undernotes typical for the Montepulciano Vino noble wines. Mind blowing pairing our ‘from scratch bruschettas’.

Amazing smell. A bit of cherry and berries. Great finish. Silky and smooth.
