🚨A remarkable parcel, a phenomenal vintage!🚨
Ridolfi is located on the cooler northeastern side of Montalcino, along the historic Strada del Brunello. Now led by the Peretti family, the estate farms Sangiovese in clay-heavy soils containing a good dose of marine fossil deposits & limestone. Ridolfi has practiced organic farming throughout the vineyard and cellar since 2014. The wines are made traditionally, with hand harvesting, extended macerations, native-yeast fermentation, and aging in large oak casks, producing Brunellos with freshness, solid structure, and a rather savory, mineral character. Ridolfi takes its name and coat of arms from an old Florentine family whose lineage can be traced to 1290; one branch later settled in Siena and established estates in the surrounding countryside.
This limited production 2016 Donna Rebecca comes from Ridolfi’s best parcel on Montalcino’s northeastern slope, and showcases the estate’s more Burgundian interpretation of Brunello. Sangiovese berries were fermented whole in custom designed Tonnellerie Baron barriques, followed by an unusually long 90-day maceration with daily barrel rotation. After 30 months in barrique and another 18 months in bottle, we’re ready for action!. The 2016 vintage is a stunner, one of the best in the past decade - this richer, more polished style is all about freshness and structure, balancing dark cherry and plum with some rose petal, black pepper, clove, vanilla, velvety tannins, and a long, mouth hugging finish. Who doesn’t need a mouth hug?
