Montepulciano
Journeying to this Cellar is like stepping back in time. It embodies the bounty of the beautiful Tuscan soil - wine. This wine, deeply revered and cherished, was joyously drank and tended to with enthusiasm and resolve by our forebears, the Etruscans, several centuries before the Christian era.

Easy fun, relaxing, not a lot of walking, good wine - We had such a lovely tour with our tour guide. He gave us the history of the underground cellar and it ended with a wine tasting and a small plate of charcuterie.

Highly recommended. Light food is served as a complement to the wines. - Our guide was great! Very personable, approachable and knowledgeable . The cellars are spectacular. The wine tasting afterward was also very well done. No novice would have felt intimidated during the tasting.

Cantina De'Ricci was beautiful - a must see! - Truly a wonderful experience, a can't miss in our opinion. The history alone and the tour (our tour guide Debbie was fantastic - plenty of opportunities to take pictures and it was paced incredibly well)) were worth every penny, but then to also have the opportunity to taste test six different wines at the end along with some cheeses, meats and bruschetta were a perfect ending to the tour. Highly recommend if you cherish history and beautiful tasting wines!
