The Winery

Castello dei Rampolla

Castello dei Rampolla has been family-run since 1739 on the same farmland in Toscana, however only in 1975 was this estates first wine release: Chianti Classico. At a time where Chianti was an afterthought of quality, Alceo di Napoli Rampolla and his winemaker Giacomo Tachis sought to change the stigma. They also were one of the firsts in Toscana to plant Cabernet Sauvignon and blend it with Sangiovese in what is now famously called a Super Tuscan. This family estate continues to pursue greatness by their Chianti Classico, Sammarco and Vigna d’Alceo bottlings that consistently receives scores from critics in the upper echelon.

Tasting Notes

JS95
Plenty of currant, herb and mineral character. Bright and lifted with so much complexity. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Layered and beautiful. From organically grown grapes. Cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Better in 2016.
WS95
A mix of blackberry, black cherry, cedar, tobacco and spice flavors runs up against dense, muscular tannins in this tight, linear red. Juicy and vibrant, with plenty of fruit, this just needs time to harmonize. Terrific length. Best from 2018 through 2028.
