 The S. Lucia estate in Faulle, where the Castello dei Rampolla wine is produced, is in the southern valley of Panzano, Italy's so called "Conca d'Oro" (meaning the golden shell or horn of plenty). It has been owned by the Di Napoli Rampolla family since 1739. From 1964 Alceo Di Napoli devoted himself to grape growing, using modern methods. The first vinifications were in 1970's; the first bottling of wine was done from the grape harvest of 1975. Now the business is run by Maurizia and her brother Luca Di Napoli Rampolla. The vineyards occupy 42 hectares (103 acres) in total, not all in production yet. The vineyards have a south, southeast and southwest exposure. Their altitudes run from 900 ft to 1,200 ft. On the farm several different types of grapes are grown: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Malvasia. For the past ten years the farm has used only Biodynamic Agriculture. The grape harvest is done manually, selecting only the best grapes, in September and October. Every operation in the field and in the cellar is done following the lunar phases, and the biodynamic calendar. Castello dei Rampolla uses only their own grapes and does not buy wine, that is why each vintage is often different in quantity and quality. It really all depends on nature. Oenologist Giacomo Tachis uses 95% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards located in Panzano to make today's featured Chianti Classico. It is aged for 12-18 months in Slavonian oak and 4 months in bottle before release.
