The 2004 Chianti Classico (95% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon), is a weighty style of Chianti that offers attractive notes of ripe dark fruit, earthiness and tar, with more structure, delineation and finesse than the 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016. High-density vineyards, biodynamic farming and low yields are the hallmarks of the wines of Castello dei Rampolla, located in the prestigious Conca d’Oro in Panzano. Despite its elegant name Castello di Rampolla is a small, family-run property with a decidedly artisanal approach to working in both the vineyards and the cellar. The estate produces big, concentrated wines with imposing tannic structures that have proven to be extremely ageworthy. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
