About the Producer:
Next to the legendary
"-aia" trifecta of Sassicaia,
Ornellaia, and Solaia, there
are the overshadowed wines of Castello dei Rampolla. Absent here
are the marketing prowess and glitz, but behold, this is one the
most
highly regarded wines of Toscana and is the choice of winemakers!
The Vigna d'Alceo is consistently a Three Glass winner and recipient
of 95+ points.
The cellars of the Rampolla winery, near Panzano in central Tuscany,
date back to the 13th century. Situated on 42 hectares of calcareous
soil about 360 meters above sea level, these vineyards are ideal
for Sangiovese, which here achieves particular vigour and potential
for
long-aging. The di Napoli family combines biodynamic methods in the
vineyard with its modern, well-equipped cellars to produce world
class
wines with the famous consultant oenologist, Giacomo Tachis. The
Chianti Classico bottling accounts for approximately 100,000 of
the total
150,000 bottle production. The remainder is divided between the Riserva,
the Sammarco and their white, Trebianco.
