Ampeleia, dating from 2002, is the project of Elisabetta Foradori, one of Italy’s top “superstar” winemakers, originally in collaboration with two friends. The project aspires to represent the inherent diversity and huge potential of a particular area of Maremma, thee Colline Metallifere, a part of the region that has never been home to intensive agriculture. The estate results from the purchase of different plots of land, located far apart and on different altitude levels, with the precise aim of creating a great variability in altitude, soil type and microclimatic conditions; each vineyard has a distinctive identity that is enhanced by the uniqueness of the surrounding environment. Originating from the Near East, many of the grape varieties that have been planted in Ampeleia are common in Mediterranean farmlands. In past times, vineyards were not planted with just one grape variety but many types of grapes were present and they were all harvested at the same time; the vineyards at Ampeleia reflect this tradition. An 80/20 blend of Carignan and Grenache, done entirely in concrete, it has bright notes of raspberries and juicy cherries, with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Organic, biodynamic.
