About Tenimenti Ricci
Tenimenti Ricci is represented in the supplied wine records by a Brunello di Montalcino. This places the focus of its profile on Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s best-known appellations. There is not enough reliable information here to establish the producer’s founding history, ownership or precise vineyard holdings. It would therefore be inappropriate to attribute a particular family story, estate size or vineyard location to the name.
Brunello di Montalcino comes from the territory of the municipality of Montalcino, south of Siena. This is a landscape of hills with varied elevations, aspects and soils. The broadly Mediterranean climate brings warm, dry summers, while elevation and local air currents can provide cooling influences. Conditions consequently differ considerably across the appellation. Without further information about Tenimenti Ricci’s vineyard sources, the producer cannot confidently be associated with a particular sector or soil type.
The Brunello tradition took shape especially from the late nineteenth century onwards. The appellation received DOCG status in 1980. Brunello must be made entirely from Sangiovese, also known locally as Brunello. The rules require at least two years of ageing in wood and four months in bottle; standard Brunello cannot be released before the fifth year following the harvest. These requirements do not, however, establish whether Tenimenti Ricci uses large casks or smaller barriques, or how prominent oak flavours are in its wine.
The principal wine that can be linked to the producer here is therefore Brunello di Montalcino. Wines of this appellation typically show sour cherry and dried herb aromas, developing leather and earthy notes with bottle age. Fresh acidity and firm tannins make them natural partners for food and can support further ageing. These are regional characteristics rather than a verified tasting note for a particular bottling. Classic matches include bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù and mature pecorino.
