2008 Sammarco, Castello di Rampolla, IGT Tuscany (6 x Bottle)

Italy Tuscany

The nose is mature and expressive, whilst on the palate, there is a sublime depth of fruit. Less structured than some Sammarco vintages, maturity has bought more fat to the wine, whilst the tannins are supremely elegant and the finish immense.

Vinous

The 2008 Sammarco is striking. Freshly cut flowers, red berries, mint and licorice burst from the glass. The 2008 is remarkably open and vibrant today, but it will almost certainly shut down with more time in bottle. Today the 2008 impresses for its length and pure, mineral-infused fruit. Dazzling aromatics, beautifully delineated fruit and fabulous structure all come to life in this stunning, breathtaking wine. I wish every reader could taste this wine.

Vinous

The 2008 Sammarco is one of the more mid-weight, feminine wines in this vertical. Smoke, black cherries, mint, cloves and violets open up in the glass. This is another Sammarco that won’t take forever to open up. Lithe, feminine and gracious, the 2008 is similar in style to the 2005, but a bit sweeter through the middle. When it was younger, the 2008 was more impressive, but it seems to be going through a dormant phase today.
