Though the estate has been in the di Napoli Rampolla family since 1739, it was Alceo di Napoli who planted the first vineyards in 1965, producing the first vintage in 1970. Brother and sister team Maurizia and Luca now run the business, their humble enthusiasm and dedication producing what are considered some of the most fascinating wines in the Chianti.
Castello dei Rampolla is considered a pioneer of biodynamic farming practices in Chianti, beginning the first experiments in 1994 when most wineries in the area were still unfamiliar with organic, let alone biodynamic, agriculture.

This is an incredible, palate-covering wine with an immediate oh my factor, followed by a chorus of "wow's". The nose opens spicy with woodsy aromas of pine and cedar. Silky tannins coat the palate to create the stage for a dance of sweet plum and cherry. Extraordinary harmonies of flavors, with very long, succulent finish. Read More
