Description

It is commonly thought that clay soil produces more structured wines, but this is not the case at Roccatederighi. It is here that the “dell’Asina” vineyard (the “Donkey vineyard”), that produces our Cabernet Franc, is located, in soil rich in clay and marked by typical schist and palombino limestone rocks. This unique land creates a Cabernet Franc that is the expression of pure fruit, with a sincere and vibrant identity.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 2002
  • Hectares: 35
Ampeleia was established in 2002, the year in which Marco Tait, young and impulsive at the time, answered the call of the current owners, Elisabetta Foradori and Giovanni Podini, to take charge of the first harvest, without being fully aware of what he was getting involved in. Marco, fresh out of oenology and viticulture school, had been enchanted by the call of the Maremma and he and Elisabetta had known each other for a while.

However, Ampeleia had been conceived by three friends two years earlier, at an altitude of 2153 metres in the Comici mountain refuge in the Dolomites. It was during the winter of 2000 that Elisabetta, Giovanni and Thomas had the idea for creating Ampeleia. They wanted to farm in a place that was beautiful but out of the ordinary, away from the stereotypes around which the world of wine revolves. Read more
