Description
 
Ampeleia began its life as a thought of a wine rather than as an actual winery. Elisabetta Foradori is one of Italy’s true superstar winemakers; she became renowned for her work with the Teroldego grape variety at her family estate in Trentino-Alto Adige. In the early 2000s, Elisabetta came together with two friends to develop Ampeleia: a completely unique project in the Maremma region of Toscana, farmed biodynamically, and completely focused on the synergy between man and nature. Ampeleia overlooks the medieval village of Roccatederighi, located on three different levels of altitude varying from 200 to 600 meters above sea level and includes a total of 150 hectares of which only 40 hectares are planted with vines. The property slopes down towards the sea, nestled in a territory made up of numerous plots of land, hidden among lush vegetation, where Etruscan settlers nourished the soil to grow grapes ages ago. All vineyards on the estate were planted following in-depth Terroir research of each single site. Ampeleia is born trough a synergic interaction of Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese, mainly grown on higher vineyard sites where the climate is milder (Ampeleia di Sopra and Ampeleia di Mezzo), plus five complementary varieties (Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Alicante and Marsellan) grown in the lower and hotter areas of the estate (Ampeleia di Sotto). Ampeleia is a wine with great character and personality, elegant and with intense fruit.

This perfumy red exudes floral, raspberry, strawberry and mineral flavors, matched to a silky texture. Harmonious and long, presenting a fresh, bracing feel as the flavors linger. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet and Marselan. Drink now through 2023. 2,500 cases made. Wine Spectator 92 (2013)
