Vigna d'Alceo 2019

Description

Still red wine from Tuscany IGT, 14% ABV, produced by Castello dei Rampolla. Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot. 0.75L bottle, 2019 vintage. A wine that embodies the passion and dedication of the Di Napoli family, who have been producing wines of great character in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano since 1964. The bouquet plays on undergrowth tones, from jammy black berries to macerated flowers, from bark to roots, with clear references to Mediterranean scrub, dark spices, and mineral notes. Pigeon blood ruby in the glass. Austere on the palate, characterized by exuberant tannins and a decidedly almondy finish.

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.
