Description

A Tuscan red wine with delightful balance and freshness

The estate

Nestling in the heart of the Maremma, Tuscany's iconic wine region, Ampéléia is one of Italy's most respected estates. Founded in 2002 by Elisabetta Foradori, Thomas Widmann and Giovanni Podini, Ampeleia has risen rapidly to become a benchmark in organic and biodynamic wine. Their passion for terroir and biodiversity has enabled them to produce wines that are a marvellous experiment in the complexity and finesse of indigenous grape varieties.

The vineyard

Ampeleia 2014 is a Costa Toscana wine from a 40-hectare vineyard spread over three different altitudes, each with its own climate and soil composition. This allows for the cultivation of a variety of grape varieties, which benefit from perfect conditions to develop their unique character. The geographical location and organic farming practices make the estate a perfect terroir for Mediterranean grape varieties.

The wine

This Tuscan wine is a cuvée that embodies the expression of its terroir. The result is a wine with intense aromas and a solid structure, emblematic of Ampeleia's passion and dedication to their terroir.

Winemaking and ageing

Harvested by hand. Maceration takes place in open truncated-cone vats. The wine is then aged in tuns and concrete vats to preserve the integrity of the fruit and the natural minerality.

Grape variety

Cabernet Franc (100%)
