Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Ian d'Agata - 01 Aug 19
Vivid medium red-ruby. Deep aromas of red berries, black cherry, mocha, and exotic oak, plus whiffs of herbs and minerals. Intensely flavored, showcasing enticing sweetness to the red fruit and mineral notes, but the very lively acidity leaves a taut impression to the mouthfeel and its raspberry, saline and herbal flavors. A rather uncompromising wine as is typical of Rampante, one of the highest contradas that gives very fine grained and aromatic but powerfully tannic wines. The tannic clout is reinforced by noteworthy acidity levels (not surprising, given this is one of the highest contradas on the volcano).

Italy Vineyard Fine Wine

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
