The estate’s history traces back to 1290. Three Ridolfi families stem from an ancient Tuscan lineage. One of these – the Ridolfi of Borgo – originated the Sienese branch called “dalla Contrada”. That is the Ridolfi family that gives their name and crest to this estate in Montalcino.
The estate was bought in 2011 by Giuseppe Valter Peretti, owner of the Rocchetto estate in Larciano in Chianti, about twenty kilometres south of Pistoia. 2014 Gianni Maccari joined as winemaker after a long time (14 years) working at the esteemed Poggio di Sotto. He is now joined by his son Filippo who has just finished his winemaking and vineyard studies. In 2021, this estate was named by the Gambero Rosso as one of Italy’s “up and coming estates”.
"A different “beast” in a way. Warm herbs and spices, full mulled fruits but not lacking precision. Iodine, menthol and almost a kick of quinine. A wine for the hedonist. "
