Since 1739, the di Napoli family has owned and managed the 13th-century estate of Castello dei Rampolla, which is situated near Panzano in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone. This historic estate now produces beautifully crafted and somewhat traditional SuperTuscan wines under the skilled supervision of famous oenologist Giacomo Tachis. Sammarco is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5 % Sangiovese from vineyards in Panzano, planted on slopes with southeastern exposure. 2004 was an excellent vintage in Tuscany and this wine is quite impressive. Behind its dense ruby-purple color with bright reflections, the nose is ripe and rich with cigar box spices and tobacco notes intermingled with dark wild berries, smoke, minerals, black currants, and toasted oak hints. Medium to full-bodied, with good intensity, the palate is dense, rich, with a very good sense of purity and harmony. The finish is long and structured with bright acidity and supporting tannins that enhance the quality of the fruit.
