From the first sniff, Castello dei Rampolla’s 2020 Sammarco shows a dark, cool-fruited personality layered with blackcurrant, raspberry liqueur, cocoa, cedar and a touch of dried citrus peel and herbs. The palate is sleek yet concentrated, with vibrant acidity stretching the flavors across the tongue and firmly grained, velvety tannins giving structure to a long, resonant finish. This vintage feels especially focused and refined, emphasizing finesse over sheer power while still delivering impressive depth and persistence.

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.
