Sangiovese di S. Lucia - Castello Dei Rampolla is born in the heart of Tuscany, an authentic expression of the terroir of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Produced from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, this wine reflects the distinctive characteristics of the region’s most emblematic grape variety, thanks to a careful vinification that preserves freshness and structure. The refined aging takes place in oak barrels, imparting complexity and a delicate minerality that complements its lively natural acidity.

In the glass, it presents a bright ruby color, while on the nose it reveals aromas of cherry, plum, and light spicy notes that evoke Tuscan tradition. On the palate, the balanced tannic texture supports a pleasant persistence, making it ideal to accompany red meat dishes, first courses with structured sauces, or aged cheeses. A Sangiovese that tells the story of the territory with elegance and character, perfect for those seeking an honest encounter with the local wine culture.
