Noelia Ricci

The modern-day Noelia Ricci story began at Tenuta Pandolfa in 2010. It was Giuseppe Ricci who renovated the property after its occupation by the Nazis during WW2 and his daughter Noelia continued the revival with new plantings and a winery in the 1980s. Now Giuseppe’s grandson, Marco Cirese, is picking up the threads of the story.

 

The farm is at the foot of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, within the Predappio sub-zone – a historic area for Sangiovese – and up to 340 metres above sea level.

 

Marco has been converting the vineyards to organic certification and forever aims to be true to the style of wine made by his family for the past 150 years, or as he says, “classic style, contemporary approach”.
