Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco 1990 - 0,75l

Castello dei Rampolla’s Sammarco 1990 is a classic Tuscan red that captures the elegance and depth that made the estate a benchmark producer in the region. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot, it combines ripe fruit, structure and a distinctly old-school Italian sense of balance, with extended maturation that can last more than three years before release.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Sammarco shows a deep ruby to garnet hue, with the beginnings of age adding subtle brick-like reflections at the rim. The nose is fruit-driven and expressive, offering dark cherry, blackberry and plum, layered with hints of herbs, tobacco, cedar and gentle spice. On the palate, it is supple yet composed, with juicy red and black fruit supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. The long ageing in concrete, large oak casks and bottle softens the texture while preserving freshness and aromatic purity. This is a wine that can age gracefully, developing more savory complexity over time while maintaining its fruit core.

Production
Sammarco is produced in Tuscany from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot, reflecting the estate’s thoughtful approach to combining international and local varieties. The wine is matured in concrete tanks, large tonneau barrels and bottle, a combination that helps preserve fruit clarity while adding texture and complexity. Its extended élevage, sometimes lasting over three years, allows the components to integrate before release.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted lamb, grilled steak, braised beef, game birds and rich Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with wild boar or mushroom ragù. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended, especially for younger bottles, to allow the aromas to open fully and the structure to soften.
