Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2000

A fine offering is the 1998 Vigna d'Alceo. An opaque purple-colored blend of Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese and small quantities of Syrah and Petit Verdot it is a large-scaled wine with exceptional elegance and complexity...

Wine Spectator, October 2000

A soft subtle red. Wonderful aromas of blackberries and cherries with hints of minerals. Medium- to full-bodied with very soft tannins and a long long finish. Best after 2001. 1250 cases made.

Vigna d’Alceo is Castello dei Rampolla’s first biodynamic wine. It represents a union between the two generations of the Castello dei Rampolla winery: Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot as the founder Alceo, wished and biodynamic as his children, Luca and Maurizia, practice.

The wine is fermented in concrete, then aged in 500L barrels for 12-15 months and in bottle for 18-24. It fully reflects the character of the vineyard from which it originates. It is intense, warm, refined and elegant.Well-ripened red fruits blend perfectly with delicate notes of cigar and tobacco - an amazing concentration with no heaviness.
