2021 Liu, Castello dei Rampolla, IGT Tuscany (6 x Bottle)
Tasting note
Made with 100% Merlot, the Castello dei Rampolla 2021 Liù has notes of dried herbs and spice that frame a dark core of fruit. Although rich in appearance,the wine is elegantly slender and polished on the palate, with peppery notes to finish. A pretty, structural softness speaks to the spirit of the variety and the sunny brilliance of Panzano in Chianti.
Our thoughts
Released for the first time in 2018, this is a fabulous and pure single-varietal Super-Tuscan. Named for current custodians Maurizia and Luca's mother, Donna Liù, the Merlot is harvested early to capture its freshness and intensity.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Made with 100% Merlot, the Castello dei Rampolla 2021 Liù shows a note of spice and dried herb that frame a dark core of fruit. The wine is rich in appearance, but the mouthfeel remains elegantly slender and polished. There is pretty structural softness here that speaks to the spirit of the variety and the sunny brilliance of Panzano in Chianti. Peppery notes appear on the close. This is a release of 7,109 bottles and 20 magnums.

Vinous
The 2021 Merlot Liu’ is fabulous. Dark and inky to the core, the 2021 saturates the palate with layers of blue/purplish fruit framed by incisive tannins. Graphite lavender, spice and menthol, appear later, but it is the wine’s pure intensity that impresses most. What a gorgeous wine this is.
