Description
| Notes | |||
| "Ampeleia is dark in colour and represents a perfect example of the harmonious blend of our different Cabernet Franc parcels. Its minerality “shouts elegantly” of the Roccatederighi terroir and you can lose yourself in forest berries, balsamic notes, aromatic herbs and spices: deep, with silky tannins. Opening the bottle marks the start of a journey, to be savoured to the end. A journey lasting 18 years, the number of vintages we have produced." —winemaker |
| Critical Acclaim | |||
| "A cabernet franc with aromas of mulberry, earth, mushroom, clay and potpourri. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Lively and vibrant on the palate with a velvety texture. Layered and balanced with character. Long, flavorful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now." —James Suckling "The organic 2017 Ampeleia is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc with fruit selected from across various parcels planted at a cool 500 to 600 meters above sea level. The wine sees 15 days of fermentation on the skins in large oak casks. This 17,000-bottle production opens to a dark color and concentration, showing pretty aromas of pressed rose, tart cherry, dried apricot and tilled soil. Like the other wines from Ampeleia, this expression shows a lasting sense of inner elegance that transcends the heat and drought of the 2017 vintage." —Wine Advocate "A fresh, floral and fruity version, this red reveals cherry, raspberry and rose aromas and flavors, with flashes of wild herbs and iron. Light on its feet, yet with volume and a firm, chalky finish. Best from 2023 through 2032. 1,250 cases made, 375 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
