Dense yet remarkably poised, Castello dei Rampolla’s 2016 Sammarco layers dark currant and black plum with hints of tobacco, cedar, and wild herbs, all wrapped in a luxurious, velvety texture. The palate is powerful and tightly knit, with refined but still assertive tannins that promise long development and an energetic, cooling lift on the finish. This vintage stands out for its combination of richness, precision, and vertical drive, making it both compelling now (with air) and profoundly age-worthy.

Sammarco is Castello dei Rampolla’s iconic Super Tuscan, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend (typically with smaller proportions of Sangiovese and Merlot) from a single vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico, farmed organically and biodynamically. Dense, deeply colored and firmly structured, it marries ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit with notes of cedar, wild herbs and mineral-laced tobacco, yielding a powerful yet refined wine that is built for long aging and has helped define the estate’s reputation.
