    Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi's latest and strictly limited creation (only 1,659 magnum bottles were filled) was named after Ridolfo, an ancestor of the family. The deliberate blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Pugnitello symbolises the combination of tradition and modernity and at the same time impressively represents the terroir of the Chianti hills.

    Dark ruby red, refined bouquet of blackberry, dried plum and eucalyptus. The palate has a firm, taut core, layers of sour cherry, spicy notes such as pepper and liquorice, with a powerful and slightly balsamic finish. The well-proportioned acidity and characteristic tannins guide this fleshy, muscular red into a furious, long-lasting final. A wine full of character and very unique! SUPERIORE.DE

    "Inky, dark purple-ruby. While exuding a deep, layered blackberry and cherry perfume, with the most understated yet present oak note imaginable. After aeration, there is a whiff of Médoc, but the palate is less dry and more fruit-driven than you’d expect from a bordeaux. Soft, drying tannins and lots of succulent acidity." Jancis Robinson

    "Dark, elegant ruby colour with a delicately brightening rim. Initially somewhat closed on the nose, reminiscent of sealing wax and plenty of spice, needs some time to open up. On the palate with a creamy entry and clear fruit, opens up with savoury, grippy tannins, present and dense." Falstaff

    "The 2017 Ridolfo is an intoxicating, exotic wine. Lush and opulent, with bright acids and almost seamless tannins, the 2017 Ridolfo is a very special wine. Mocha, espresso, liquorice, menthol, pine and dried herbs all come together in a strong, deeply structured wine. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pugnitello is remarkable. The only thing the 2017 needs is time." Vinous

    "Pithy bouquet of dark forest fruits and spices, topped with notes of undergrowth; powerful yet nuanced course, the robust tannins and acidity in balance, finishes long on notes of berries, liquorice and undergrowth. A wine of character that needs to mature." Vinum
