Ampeleia, beyond this winery in the heart of Maremma (Tuscany) there was a swiss couple: Erica and Peter Max Suter, they bought an abandoned piece of land which since 2002 has been reorganized under the protection of Elisbetta Foradori. Roccatederighi's the ancient town nearby that spread over the Metalliferous Hills. All the Ampeleia wines bear names that recall ancestral ideas and profound concepts taken from ancient Greek culture: Kepos, Empatia, Ampeleia. Biggest enemy in the wine region is an excess heat and too much sun exposure of the vines which could provides too mushy wines or some dispreferred overipe. How does Marco Tait in the vineyards first then in the cellar, fight against such an adversary? Altitude, actually three different altitudes! Ampeleia di Sopra is where they've got vineyards between 450 and 600 m.a.s.l., here's for instance, the main reason why this vintage 2004, a blend of Cab Franc, Sangiovese and four others Mediterranean grape varieties despite his twelve years behind it is still that vibrating, breezy, unbroken and savory! http://www.ampeleia.it/ — 8 years ago

Blackberry, tannin, longing for blue cheese to counter. This is a roll it around in my mouth wine. Linger over but not rich. Tasty but not deliciously so. Good. Repeatable. Just fine. — 8 years ago

Pure red with hints of purple in the glass. Deep rich dark plum aromas along with spicy quality that isnt alcohol based but intriguing. Flavors of dark baked fruit like plums and a herbal quality reminiscent of taragon or sage. Delicious wine! 2013 — 8 years ago

Lontano dai sauvignon italici ha la dolcezza del legno e sapidità dal terrori. Alcool un po' sopra le righe.
