Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco 2012
RP 90 HK$425 |
The 2005 Sammarco is elegant and refined although it lacks the structure and power of the finest vintages. It possesses terrific depth of fruit and outstanding length, both of which are no doubt enhanced by the addition of some of the fruit that is normally destined for the D’Alceo bottling. In 2005 Sammarco is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 3% Sangiovese. This should be a fairly early-drinking vintage, something that can’t often be said about the estate’s wines. To be released in 2009. |

Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco 2006
RP 92 HK$425 |
The 2006 Sammarco flows across the palate with waves of beautifully delineated dark fruit. Grilled herbs, smoke, menthol, licorice and minerals come to life on the palate, adding further complexity. Today the tannins are quite clamped and also a touch dry on the finish. The 2006 isn’t a blockbuster, but a wine built on elegance and class above all else. Sammarco is Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot. In 2006, I am not sure it has the inner sweetness and stuffing to develop positively in bottle. |

Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco 2007
RP 97 HK$680 |
The 2007 Sammarco is a showstopper. A dazzling bouquet leads to layers of rich dark fruit in this superb, racy wine. The tannins are all about finesse. This isn’t a blockbuster Sammarco, but rather it is a wine that impresses for its sexy personality and fabulous overall balance. The 2007 Sammarco is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Sangiovese and 5% Merlot. |

Castello dei Rampolla Chianti Classico 2009
RP 92+ HK$162 |
The 2009 Chianti Classico is insanely beautiful. Layers of flavor flow effortlessly from this sexy, supple Chianti Classico. Sweet red berries, licorice, mint and flowers are woven together in a fabric of inimitable class and sheer elegance. The Di Napoli family, with their extraordinary commitment to quality, elevate Chianti Classico to a level that is exceedingly rare. Chianti Classico as an appellation continues to struggle in the marketplace, but this is a perfect example of the recipe for success: A great site; meticulous, painstaking work in the vineyards and cellar; no shortcuts. This is a dazzling wine in every way. |
