In this tricky vintage, Castello dei Rampolla d'Alceo 2014 trades sheer muscle for an intense, polished poise, layering ripe blue and black berries with notes of violet, wild herbs and a cool graphite edge. The palate is concentrated yet mid-weight, with glossy, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity giving the wine a sleek, vertical feel and a long, focused finish that stays more vibrant than heavy. It’s a refined, expressive take on this typically powerful Cabernet Sauvignon–Petit Verdot blend, showing depth without excess.

D’Alceo is Castello dei Rampolla’s iconic, biodynamically farmed Tuscan red, a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon–Petit Verdot blend from a single terraced vineyard in Panzano in Chianti. It is known for its deep, concentrated yet weightless profile—ripe dark and red fruits wrapped in cigar box, tobacco, spice, and earthy mineral notes—combined with refined tannins and remarkable aging potential that captures the personality of the site Alceo di Napoli planted.
