Domaine Rostaing is a renowned winery, helmed by the talented René Rostaing, and later by his son Pierre Rostaing. The estate is known for its exceptional expressions of Syrah from Côte-Rôtie, as well as other Rhône appellations. ‘Ampodium’ is named after a Gallo-Roman village that once stood where the vineyards are now located. This wine is made primarily from Syrah grapes sourced from various parcels within the Côte-Rôtie appellation. ‘Ampodium’ is often approachable in its youth but can also develop complexity and nuance with time in the cellar.
