Inspiring. Enchanting. Incredible. I will exhaust the adjectives and superlatives in describing our tour and tasting at De'Ricci. Start with the history. The wine cellars began in the time of the Etruscans. 800 years BC. The De'Ricci family expanded the cellars 1200 years ago. The steps down to the caves (or cellars) were constructed to accommodate horses bringing the harvest and barrels down to this space. Our tour guide made the experience so interesting and with a slice of humor. And after the tour, we were rewarded with the wine. Absolutely world class. Forget every preconceived notion you have about Italian wines. These wines were spectacular. We were fortunate to be greeted by the winemaker Nicolo. Wonderful man who absolutely enjoys what he does and is so steeped in the history and traditions of De'Ricci. He was so generous with his time to talk with us. We bought several bottles to enjoy during out three weeks in Italy, and my biggest regret is we did not buy a case to have shipped home. The wine was sublime. And each afternoon when we cracked a bottle, I remarked that it was better than I remembered. So, with huge enthusiasm, I highly recommend a tour and tasting at De'Ricci. AND BRING SEVERAL BOTTLES BACK!
This is one of my favorite Italian experiences so far. Emilio was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting the entire time. The winery is gorgeous and the tasting was phenomenal. I wouldn’t want to leave Tuscany without having taken this tour.
Well worth the several person recommendations to visit! You must book in advance otherwise you may be out of luck. Incredible cantina and caves where the wine is made and stored. 1300’s origin in continuous operation. Tour was amazing! Husband and wife tour guides are packed full of details, history and just overall amazing stories. Tour is well worth the wait to actually begin the wine tastings. Highly rated wines! Beautiful property with great people.
This wine tour at De’ Ricci Cantine Storiche was an absolute highlight of our time in Montepulciano! The history here is fascinating – you can feel the centuries of winemaking tradition as you explore. But the real showstopper is the cavern where the wines are stored. It’s absolutely breathtaking! The ancient stone chambers create such a dramatic and atmospheric setting that you’ll remember long after your visit. We did the wine tasting tour, and wow – the wines were truly exceptional. Each pour was delicious, and the experience of tasting them in such a stunning historic setting made it even more special. If you’re in Montepulciano and appreciate great wine, incredible history, and jaw-dropping architecture, De’ Ricci Cantine Storiche is absolutely unmissable. Highly recommend!
We had a very fun Sangiovese wine tasting experience here and ordered wine to be shipped home. All bottles came 100% intact and were shipped rather quickly! We were there right during their harvest period and learned many things about their processes, and of course, the history of the winery. Very cool and would highly recommend!
