THE WINERY – CASTELLO DEI RAMPOLLA 

The land on which the Castello dei Rampolla farm stands has been owned by the family since 1739.

Much history has passed over these lands, but that of our family starts in the mid-1960’s with the dream of one man, Alceo di Napoli Rampolla, who wished to create a great wine.

In 1975 their first bottles of Chianti Classico were produced. This was a time when Chianti Classico was struggling to assert itself and to earn the respect it deserved.

Alceo then had an intuition and decided, with the help of a great winemaker Giacomo Tachis , to be the first in the area to plant Cabernet Sauvignon and to blend it with Sangiovese.

This was the first of the Castello dei Rampolla revolutions, only a few years after the farms birth.

SAMMARCO

It is an elegant and refined wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with a percentage of Sangiovese and Merlot.

Production varies depending on the weather conditions: 8000 – 25000 bottles.

Sammarco is a very fresh wine with fine aromas of woodland undergrowth and a deep, intense colour.
It is characterised by distinct aromas of ripe fruit and has a strong concentration of powerful tannins.

Vinification and aging
