“Ampeleia” Costa Toscana IGT 2019 (BIO)

Ampeleia | Tuscany
Ampeleia s.a. s.r.l. | Loc. Meleta | IT 58028 Roccatederighi

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

"A juicy and beautifully stocky Cabernet Franc with lots of wild berries, fresh herbs, mezcal and white pepper. Generous and juicy on the palate with a medium body and fresh acidity and tannins. All delivered in a very drinkable, expressive way." James Suckling

"Presents perfumed aromas of cherries, raspberries, cedar, leather, wild herbs and spices that echo on the palate. An intense red wine with a firm structure that develops into a long, complex finish. Still needs some time to integrate the dusty tannins." Wine Spectator

"The 2019 Ampeleia is deep, striking and very expressive. In 2019, the Ampeleia seems to offer a bit more volume and brooding intensity than in most years. Black cherry, mocha, dried herbs and espresso give it a remarkable, sepia-coloured intensity. This powerful Franc is a winner. I suggest giving the 2019 and all of these wines a little aeration, as oxygen is very beneficial." Vinous

"Made with Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Ampeleia gives us a unique view onto a grape variety that we are seeing with increasingly successful results along the coast of Tuscany. In this case, you get punchy (macerated) fruit flavors of candied blueberry and cherry and lots of vertical lift from a producer who always offers interesting winemaking interpretations in wines from Tuscany and in the far north of Italy under the Elisabetta Foradori brand. The wine winds down slowly with lingering notes of cigar ash, smoke and tar." Wine Advocate
