It was founded in 1965, and the first vintage was bottled in 1975: the "Castello dei Rampolla" vineyard. The winegrowing siblings Maurizia and Luca di Napoli tend their vines on 34 hectares of land. It is precisely these wines that can be tasted at the Ustria da vin in Laax at the end of May. From the classic Chianti to a Merlot to the "D'Alceo Rosso Toscana" - there is a lot waiting for wine fans.
Although the Napoli-Rampolla family first got involved in viticulture almost 60 years ago, they are one of the long-established estate owners in the region. Alceo di Napoli, Maurizia and Luca's father, was even the first to plant the Bordeaux grape Cabernet Sauvigon in the Chianti region. For two reasons: To press new wines, but also to give other dimensions to the traditional Chianti.
In 1994, the two siblings took over the family winery - and converted it to biodynamic cultivation. They also reduced the number of vines and concentrated on the best sites around the "Castello dei Rampolla". By the way: the winegrowers don't like to talk about biodynamics. Because for them it is natural to profit from the wisdom of the people who have always lived with and on the land.
A visit to the Castello is definitely worthwhile. It convinces with its beauty and the simplicity with which work is done. There are 8,000 to 10,000 vines per hectare, and each vine bears only a few grapes - this strengthens the plant's resistance.
