Castello dei Rampolla's Sammarco 1996 is a sublime expression of Tuscan terroir. This red wine, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese, displays an intense ruby hue. Notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and balsamic on the nose. Elegant palate with silky tannins and long persistence, a result of skillful aging. Ideal with red meats and aged cheeses.
