Ridolfi Montalcino

Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

Ridolfi winery and its vineyards are on the north east side of Montalcino hill, at “Mercatali” area whose name derives from the large annual market that was held here between the XII and XIII centuries. They cultivate and produce wine entirely from their own vineyard with the mission of transpose into wine the fruits given us by nature. Respecting the land they cultivate is a fundamental value in Ridolfi. Every activity in the vineyard is completely manual and regardful of the organic and biodynamic agriculture principles. In all of working premises they have a plastic free approach. The superior quality of grapes enables them to make very long skin maceration, at least 60 days, in order to obtain in the most gentle and natural way: colour, aromas and polyphenols through delestage and remontage. The wines are aged in large size barrels made with woods derived from French and slavonian forests. The aim is to bring wines to the maximum level of territorial expression in a very classic and traditional way.
