Castello dei Rampolla IGT Toscana rosso Sammarco 2019

Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco 2019 Igt Song: Norma, Act 1: “Casta Diva” by Bellini, sung by Maria Callas. The Castle has been under the ownership of the family since 1739, but it was in 1965 that the Rampolla family transformed the estate into a modern winery. With the guidance of the legendary Italian winemaker Giacomo Tachis, Rampolla became a symbol of modernity and innovation, blending Sangiovese with international varietals. Pioneers of biodynamic farming, the estate transitioned to a more regenerative and sustainable production in 1994, demonstrating a forward-thinking mentality well ahead of its time. Sammarco is one of the most renowned and celebrated Supertuscans, the flagship of Castello dei Rampolla, embodying both the all-Tuscan character of the land and the modern vision of the winery. In the glass, it gleams with a ruby red of remarkable intensity, captivating with its complex and layered bouquet. Notes of dark cherry, blueberry, and lavender intertwine with an alluring medley of Tuscan spices—chocolate, leather, tobacco, scorched earth, sage, and mushroom—while an exotic touch of roasted pepper, courtesy of Cabernet Sauvignon, adds intrigue. On the palate, Chianti-like freshness meets French elegance, unfolding in a harmonious balance of dark cherries and black tea. The tannins are expertly sculpted, leading to a lush, lingering finish where every element is seamlessly integrated. An unforgettable symphony of aromas, this wine is like a grand lyric opera, with the terroir of Chianti Classico as its star. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot. 1bt in Shipment.
