From this winery
  • Start up year: 1965
  • Oenologist: Luca di Napoli Rampolla
  • Bottles produced: 80.000
  • Hectares: 30
The company owned by the family of Di Napoli since 1964, is located in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano and part of that small group of companies that marked the relaunch of the Black Rooster denomination. The first wine-making experiments date back to the early 1970s, but the first bottles arrived on the market in 1975. A protagonist of innovative and rigorous production choices, such as, for example, the cultivation of vineyards under biodynamic methods since 1994, Rampolla produces wines that have become true cult wines, endowed with great consistency and authenticity.
