Dark-toned cassis and blackberry lead the aromas in Castello dei Rampolla’s 2019 Sammarco, layered with scents of dried flowers, tobacco leaf and a stony, almost graphite-like edge. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with vibrant acidity, polished but firm tannins and a long, savoury finish that balances ripe black fruit with spice and earthy depth—more about finesse and tension than sheer power in this vintage.

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.
