Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese

A trailblazer in biodynamic winemaking, Castello dei Rampolla crafts bold yet refined wines in the heart of Chianti Classico. The 2014 Sammarco, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Merlot, is an iconic expression of the estate’s dedication to terroir and innovation. Deep and layered, it reveals intense aromas of blackcurrant, dried herbs, and graphite, with subtle notes of tobacco and dark chocolate. The palate is structured and full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and a long, complex finish. With its balance of power and elegance, Sammarco is a wine that evolves beautifully over time, reflecting the character and depth of Tuscany’s finest reds.

Castello dei Rampolla sits in Panzano in Chianti, on land owned by the family since 1739. The winery took shape in the 1960s with Alceo di Napoli Rampolla, who worked to bring Cabernet Sauvignon into a land traditionally devoted to Sangiovese. Since 1994, the estate has followed biodynamic farming, seeing the vineyard as a living system in which people are part of the landscape, not its masters. Today, Maurizia and Luca continue this path, producing wines that combine the history of Chianti with a constant desire to experiment, from concrete and large oak to terracotta amphorae and wines made without added sulphites.
