WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Sammarco is produced using grapes that are hand-harvested from vines planted in the 1960s. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in a combination of concrete vats, eggs, and wooden vats, followed by skin maceration. The wine is then aged for 15 months in tonneaux and 12 hl oak barrels. Castello dei Rampolla employs organic and biodynamic farming practices across its estate.
