The Rosso Toscana IGT D'Alceo from Castello dei Rampolla is a wine of exceptional depth and complexity, a flagship product of the renowned winery located in the heart of the Chianti Classico. This wine is a tribute to modernity combined with Tuscan tradition, created from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes by the expert viticulturists of the Di Napoli Rampolla family.
On the nose, D'Alceo opens with intense notes of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and blueberries, masterfully integrated with nuances of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a light touch of vanilla, resulting from careful aging in French oak barriques. The olfactory complexity invites a rich and enveloping tasting experience, where the power of Cabernet Sauvignon harmoniously blends with the spicy elegance of Petit Verdot.
In the mouth, the wine is rich, with a robust yet well-polished tannic structure, promising excellent aging potential. The balance between acidity and alcohol is impeccable, with a long and persistent finish that echoes tastes of black fruits and chocolate, complimented by a touch of minerality that enhances its complexity.
This cuvée is suited for prolonged aging, which allows one to discover its evolution and the growing harmony of its components. D'Alceo is perfect for accompanying rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. A true gem for lovers of high-end Tuscan wines, representative of the skilled craftsmanship and passion of the Di Napoli Rampolla family.
