D`Alceo Castello Dei Rampolla 2004

Castello Dei Rampolla Vigna d`Alceo 2004 is a mature-vintage, single-vineyard red wine from the Tuscany region of central Italy. Biodynamic farming and low-yielding vineyards are the hallmarks of the wines of the family-run Castello dei Rampolla, which is located in the Conca d’Oro in Panzano. This is a stunning vintage of the Vigna d`Alceo, which is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. "The 2004 d`Alceo is off the charts. Freshly cut flowers, mint and dark red berries are all finely knit in a fabric of superb elegance and pure pedigree. It is fascinating to watch the evolution of Vigna d`Alceo from a wine of power to a wine of finesse, and 2004 is the inflection point in that arc. The silkiest and most refined tannins imaginable support an impeccable, layered finish peppered with dark red/black fruit, smoke, tobacco, licoricey and savoury herbs." Vinous, 20134
