Winemaking
The grapes are gently harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place in amphorae for around a week and maceration on the skins for roughly 4 weeks. The wine is then aged for 10 months in amphorae produced from ancient cocciopesto stoneware, before maturing for a further 6 months in the bottle. No sulphites (sulphur dioxide) are added to the wine.
Our tasting note
Clear, vibrant ruby red. Earthy notes of roasted malt and dark, crusty bread on the nose, accompanied by aromas of dark berries and black pepper. Brimming with juice and fruit on the palate, good tannin structure. Long-lasting finish.
Castello dei Rampolla
Under the influence of the legendary Alceo di Napoli, the Castello dei Rampolla wines, and in particular the Sammarco, gained absolute cult status. Alceo was the first in the Chianti region to plant the Bordeaux grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon. Alceo s children Luca and his sister Maurizia have been running the vineyard since 1994. They switched to bio-dynamic cultivation over the course of four years. They now produce some of the very best wines in Italy - the famous oenologist Giacomo Tachis also merits praise for this, as he was always there with help and advice.
