1998 | Castello dei Rampolla | Vigna d'Alceo Vino da Tavola

A soft, subtle red. Wonderful aromas of blackberries and cherries, with hints of minerals. Medium- to full-bodied, with very soft tannins and a long, long finish.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: A soft, subtle red. Wonderful aromas of blackberries and cherries, with hints of minerals. Medium- to full-bodied, with very soft tannins and a long, long finish.
  

• Wine Advocate: A fine offering is the 1998 Vigna d'Alceo. An opaque purple-colored blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and small quantities of Syrah and Petit Verdot, it is a large-scaled wine with exceptional elegance and complexity as well as more power and richness than the Sammarco. A sweet entry on the palate is followed by abundant quantities of smoky, complex, black currant fruit intermixed with lead pencil and vanillin flavors. Medium-bodied, beautifully knit, and suave, it possesses sweet tannin.
