Tenimenti Ricci is a small family estate in Sant'Angelo in Colle, a village in the southern part of Brunello di Montalcino. The Ricci family have owned the estate since the 1800s when they originally made and sold wine, although, throughout most of the 20th century, the estate was leased to tenants. In the early 1990s, brother and sister — Ferruccio and Ida Ricci — inherited the property and set out to make estate wines under their family's name, debuting their first vintage in 1997. Today, Tenimenti Ricci holds 20 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards, planted primarily to Sangiovese, on the region's famous galestro soils. Ferruccio and Ida strike a perfect balance of innovation and tradition in the vineyard and the cellar.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 92 Monica Larner - "The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino (with 20,000 bottles produced) has mild intensity and reaches a good balance point. There is ripe plum and blackberry fruit, but background aromas of toasted spice, grilled herb, and crushed stone add more dimension. I rather like those playful accents of dried mint and cherry cola. The fruit is on the dry side, but there is some nice primary intensity to behold."
