Aromas of tar, chilis, raspberries and dark chocolate follow through to a full body with super velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Need three years to soften. Another superb blend of sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon from the organic estate in Panzano. Try in 2018.

Castello dei Rampolla
Castello dei Rampolla is on the cutting-edge of Tuscany’s top estates. Celebrating over fifty years of continuous growth, the estate builds on the natural rhythms of the environment to produce two highly sought-after and rated wines. Castello dei Rampolla is ideally located in the heart of the Chianti region, neighboring famed producers Fontodi and La Massa, all three estates reside within Panzano’s Conca d’Oro or the Golden Basin. Although the property has been under the ownership of the di Napoli family since 1739, they did not plant vineyards until the late 1960s. Alceo di Napoli inherited the farm debuting his first Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon, called Sanmarco in 1980. By the 1990s, his children, Luca and Maurizia took over the management of the property, and introduced biodynamic agriculture practices. Today, this centuries-old estate produces highly acclaimed wines, some of the greatest Tuscans on the market - garnering far-reaching esteem from critics and connoisseurs alike.
