92 Pts Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"The 2003 Sammarco (90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 5% Sangiovese) presents a gorgeously ripe, jammy nose along with licorice, cassis, smoke, earthiness, grilled herbs and sweet dark fruit nuances that flow from the glass. Full-bodied and long on the palate, it is a massively structured effort that should drink well to age 20, perhaps longer. Only the hard, drying tannins on the finish keep the score from going higher. The 2003 is the first vintage of Sammarco that adds a small percentage of Merlot to the blend. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023." -Wine Advocate |
Description:
"Decadent and powerful, with lots of berry, licorice and cedar aromas and flavors. Full and rich, with lots of sweet fruit and a silky, caressing palate. Gorgeous. Best after 2007. 1,535 cases made." -92 Points- Wine Spectator
"The estate S. Lucia in Faulle, where the Castello dei Rampolla wine is produced, is in the southern valley of Panzano, so called 'Conca dââ¬â¢Oro.' It has been owned by the Di Napoli Rampolla family since 1739. From 1964 Alceo Di Napoli devoted himself to grape growing, using modern methods. The first vinifications were in 1970's; the first bottling of wine was done from the grape harvest of 1975. Now the business is run by Maurizia and her brother Luca Di Napoli Rampolla with the collaboration of full time and seasonal workers. The vineyards occupy 42 hectolitres in total, not all in production yet. The lands are predominantly calcareous with little clay and many stones. The vineyards have a south, southeast and southwest exposure. Their altitudes run from 1200 ft to 900 ft."
"Vinification: fermentation in stainless steel vats; at 26-28 Celsius (15 days for Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 days for Sangiovese) with pumping over of the cap; full malolactic. Ageing: 18-24 months (Sangiovese in Slavonian oak, Cabernet Sauvignon in barriques, of which 30% new); assemblage in stainless steel; light egg white fining before bottling." -Importer
