Ampeleia

Unlitro di Ampeleia (1 Liters) remarkably expresses the vitality of the estate's youngest vineyards. Notes of fresh berry and citrus fruits. Velvety smooth on the palate, fresh, dynamic and of enormous drinking flow. A bright, lively wine, Demeter-certified to boot. SUPERIORE.DE

"The fresh flowers come through nicely on the nose with some sour cherries, too. It's light-bodied, crunchy and fresh with dried lemons to the red fruits. Light nutmeg at the end." James Suckling

Kepos is the expression of Ampeleia - the symbiosis of three Mediterranean grape varieties. A medium-bodied, fruity wine that echoes the unique style of Ampeleia with its refinement and linearity. SUPERIORE.DE

"This expressive red offers dusty cherry, raspberry, Mediterranean scrub and rosehip tea flavors. Fresh and lively, with a pleasantly astringent finish." Wine Spectator

"A pretty nose of redcurrants, pomegranate, lemons, fresh lavender and clay. It's medium-bodied with chewy tannins and bright acidity. Vibrant and crunchy with juicy character. Flavorful, textured finish." James Suckling

Kepos 2020 will be the last vintage of this wine, after which its grapes will go to varietal wines and a new project, hence the label's telling addition of "Last Call".

This unique symbiosis of three Mediterranean grape varieties is the pure expression of Ampeleia: a well-structured, fruity wine that, as a classic second wine, already comes very close to its "big brother" Ampeleia with its refinement and linearity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fragrant nose of violets, orange zest, raspberries, green peppercorns, clay and thyme. Medium-bodied with precise, tight tannins and vibrant acidity. Sleek and fresh, yet surprisingly firm and structured." James Suckling

Bright ruby, appealing bouquet of blackberry and spices. On the palate a clear structure, lots of fruit, present tannins and a well-defined acidity. A pure and beautiful wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blackberries, orange peel, olives, peppercorns, herbs and oyster shells on the nose. Medium-bodied with sleek tannins and a crisp, fresh and crunchy palate. Lightly saline. Juicy finish." James Suckling

Juicy, expressive red with a lot of varietal typicity. Fine floral notes, crunchy red stone fruits on the palate, the gripping tannin gives a lot of backbone, sweet spice and fruit flavours in the final. Delicious and of fabulous purity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Redcurrants, citrus zest, wet earth, rosemary, flowers and grapefruit on the nose. Juicy and vibrant with a medium body and fine tannins. So bright and fruity, with a deliciously zesty finish." James Suckling

On the nose an intriguing blend of sweet berries and dark cherries. The clear and fresh taste flows with fine fruit and good length. Deep, complex and lively. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, dark glowing ruby. Great nose of lush blackberries and ripe cassis, also cherries, floral and fragrant. Equally fruity and clean on the palate, spreads across the tongue with elegant fruit sweetness, tannin and acidity are in place, light weight, just fun to drink!" Falstaff

"This red has depth and a meaty character to its blackberry, blueberry, freshly ground black pepper flavors. It's fresh and supple, with fine balance and a mouthwatering finish." Wine Spectator

"A bright, fruity carignan with sliced blueberries and citrus. White pepper and bark. Medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. Excellent energy." James Suckling

Ampeleia is the winery's top wine and, since the 2015 vintage, has been vinified exclusively from Cabernet Franc from different plots planted at a cool altitude of 500 to 600 metres above sea level. A wine of personality and character, its inner elegance and fruitiness make it a fascinating interpretation of the new and different Maremma. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberries, cranberries, lemons, pine needles, cloves and fresh flowers on the nose. So deliciously fresh, floral and fruity with silky tannins and bright acidity. Sleek and supple. Almost creamy. Long, too." James Suckling

This Merlot is so strictly limited that it is not even on the official price list of the winery. The grapes for this exceptional Merlot, which is exclusively bottled in only a few magnum bottles, come from vines of the winery that are more than 30 years old. Originally vinified only for our own consumption, we managed to obtain some bottles for our customers.

On the nose, fresh notes of crisp red fruits, along with balsamic notes that recall the vegetation of this upper part of Maremma. The body is determinant, enveloping, rich and at the same time boundlessly elegant. This Merlot impresses with its precise response. The refreshing acidity gives it the tools for a long life. Happy the one who can call a bottle of it his own. SUPERIORE.DE

"Tasted from magnum, the 2017 Empatia is a pure expression of organic Merlot from a site that sits in the crater of an ancient volcano inside a UNESCO park recognized for its unique geology. Only 250 magnums were made. This is a punchy, and at times bitter, expression with a reductive bouquet that needs extra time to open. Once it does, the wine reveals dark fruit, cassis and wild berry, with cola, rosemary and wild mint at the back. This wine is elegant and fine, showing an unexpected side of the Merlot grape."

"Unique aromas of blackberry, lavender, sage, coriander and ink. Complex in the nose. Full-bodied with creamy tannins and beautiful fruit density. The length and polish to this is very impressive, as always. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Available only in magnum. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." James Suckling
