Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco 2020

Castello dei Rampolla’s Sammarco 2020 is a refined Tuscan red that brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese in a style that is both powerful and beautifully balanced. A historic name from the heart of Chianti Classico, it reflects the estate’s long-standing commitment to precision, elegance, and wines with genuine personality.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the 2020 Sammarco offers a classic Tuscan aromatic profile with dark berries, blackcurrant, ripe cherry, and hints of dried herbs, tobacco, and spice. The blend’s Cabernet structure, Merlot generosity, and Sangiovese lift create a layered nose that feels polished yet expressive. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a core of dark fruit framed by savory notes, cedar, and subtle mineral complexity. The finish is long and composed, with enough structure to suggest very good ageing potential over the next several years.

Production
Sammarco comes from Castello dei Rampolla’s Tuscan vineyards, where the combination of sun, altitude, and well-drained soils helps preserve freshness and definition in the fruit. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure selection at optimal ripeness, then vinified with careful extraction to maintain balance, purity, and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, game, and hearty Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with ragù or bistecca alla Fiorentina. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours to allow the wine to open fully, especially in its youth.
