Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a Sangiovese that whispers the history of Tuscany, an authentic expression of the Castello di Rampolla estate. This wine is not just a drink, it is an intimate encounter with the beating heart of Castelnuovo Berardenga.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Castello di Rampolla estate, in Castelnuovo Berardenga, is a place where winemaking tradition is elevated to an art form. It is here that this Sangiovese di S. Lucia is born, from meticulously selected vines. The unique terroir of this region gives Tuscany's emblematic grape variety a singular personality, which the estate strives to preserve through respectful winemaking.
This wine is the result of fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins which extracts all the aromatic and color richness of the Sangiovese. Its aging, lasting 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, gives it additional complexity and a delicate minerality. In your glass, it dons a brilliant ruby robe, a promise of a vibrant tasting. On the nose, you will be charmed by aromas of red fruits, notably cherry and plum, interlaced with spicy and balsamic notes that evoke the Tuscan landscapes. On the palate, you will feel a balanced tannic structure, a lively natural acidity, and a pleasant persistence that invites contemplation.
This Sangiovese di S. Lucia is a true gastronomic chameleon. I warmly recommend it to accompany characterful dishes: grilled red meats, a succulent game dish, or aged cheeses that will reveal all its nuances. Imagine it on your table during a convivial meal with friends, or to elevate a more intimate dinner. It is the embodiment of the elegance and character of the Tuscan terroir, a sincere invitation to explore the local wine culture.
