De' Ricci Cantine Storiche di Enrico Trabalzini

For Enrico Trabalzini the passion for vines and wine was born in 1995, when he began to replant the vineyards left by his father. From taht moment on, the love for the vine blossomed. The first approaches to winemaking began only for personal curiosity. In 2015, with his wife Antonella and their children Nicolò and Francesco, he decided to dedicate his life to wine and to the research for his personal idea of Sangiovese in Montepulciano. The goal became clear and ambitious immediately: to achieve the excellence of its products, in full respect of the territorial terroir. This is how De’Ricci wines are born. Today De’Ricci is a soul with two distinct bodies, that represent together the union between historicity and a look to the future. The aging in wooden barrels is still partly carried out inside the historic winery, under the main center of the town, "the Cathedral of Wine", to keep the tradition of Montepulciano alive. On the other hand, the vinification takes place in the new winery: Fontecornino Estate, inaugurated in 2017. Today there are 30 hectares of vineyards, with an average production per vine of about 1 kg of grapes.
