Why We're Buying

Castello dei Rampolla Vigna d'Alceo Toscana IGT is the ultimate snag for a wine investor’s portfolio. It’s one of the most coveted cabernet-petit verdot blends on the market, offering a quality, smooth profile and a reasonable price tag. As Antonio Galloni described the 2015 vintage, “d’Alceo is one of the epic wines.”

Critics Scores

Wine Spectator

Featuring concentrated flavors of blackberry, black currant, earth and leafy underbrush, this red is wrapped in a shroud of stiff tannins that upsets the balance a little. Nevertheless, this will come into its own with decanting, a little aging in bottle or paired with grilled steak or lamb. Delivers excellent intensity, energy and length. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2029.

James Suckling

This is a big and self-assured red with lots of charcoal, vanilla, dried blackberries, barbecued meat and resin. Full-bodied and very chewy indeed with a ton of dark fruit and raw power. A delicate line of acidity pulls the brakes on. Drink in 2027!

Wine Enthusiast

Truffle, leather, crushed violet, mature blueberry and molten chocolate aromas meld together on this full-bodied red. A savory, earthy blend of 85 Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 Petit Verdot, the smooth palate offers mature blueberry, blackberry and clove aromas punctuated with hints of game. Velvety tannins provide polished support. Drink through 2025.
