Vineyard: The estate of Castello dAlbola is situated in the Chianti Classico area in the province of Siena, Tuscany The vineyards are situated at an average altitude of 500 metres (1,300 feet) above sea level, although at some points they attain a height of 1,640 feet The soil consists primarily of the alberese and galestro limestone Vinification and maturation:After removal of the stalks and crushing, the must is fermented for 12 days in contact with the skins in modern horizontal tanks that assure perfect conditions for vinification, allowing for greater skin contact and flavour concentration Once the sugar has been converted to alcohol, the wine is racked into large Slavonian oak casks, where it matures and fines for 12 months That is followed by fining in the bottle for a period of six months Bottling is carried out in anticipation of release onto the market, with provision for the period of fining Wine Italian Still Wine

Castello dei Rampolla's 2003 D'Alceo (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot) is another ripe, powerful wine packed with layers of super-ripe, opulent fruit, graphite, licorice and tar supported by a firm, classic structure that will require time to fully come together It is sweeter and riper than the Sammarco, and its more supple personality works well to balance the wine's structural components As with the 2004s, the D'Alceo seems to have a slight edge in terms of its overall balance The 2003 is a stunning effort Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023 High-density vineyards, biodynamic farming and low yields are the hallmarks of the wines of Castello dei Rampolla, located in the prestigious Conca d'Oro in Panzano Despite its elegant name Castello di Rampolla is a small, family-run property with a decidedly artisanal approach to working in both the vineyards and the cellar The estate produces big, concentrated wines with imposing tannic structures that have proven to be extremely ageworthyVery ripe and rich, almost cooked Plum, raisin and spice aromas and flavors Full-bodied, with a long, chewy finish A bit loosely knit Best after 2007 1,185 cases made -JS The color is a deep purple with the flavor of espresso, sweet melted licorice, black currant jam, tobacco and toasty oak Full-bodied, with super refined tannins There is great intensity, superb purity, and a finish that lingers for nearly a minute Perfect with wild meat, chicken, turkey, ham, aged cheese and mushrooms Wine ITALIAN STILL WINE
