Ampeleia Description
100% Cabernet Franc from the Ampeleia di Sopra parcels at 450-600 meters above sea level. Vines were planted between1995 and 2004. The grapes are fully destemmed and there is a maceration of 20 days. Fermented in cement tanks and 5000-6000L casks. Aging is 12 months in these same vessels, followed by 2 years of aging in bottle before release. 20,000 bottles produced.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
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 Spectator: 93 Points
Presents perfumed aromas of cherry, raspberry, cedar, leather, wild herbs and spices, which echo on the palate. An intense red, with a firm structure, this builds to a long, complex finish. Needs a bit more time to integrate the dusty tannins. Best from 2025 through 2036. 1,250 cases made, 280 cases imported.
