Amazing aromas of crushed dark fruits with raspberry, blueberry and blackberry. Dried flowers and violets too, plus tanned leather. Full body, ultra-fine yet dense tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes. Stunning texture. One of the greatest Chianti Classicos ever made.
Producer
Castello di Ama
Castello di Ama, located in Gaiole, is a premium winery in the heart of Chianti Classico. Founded in the 1970s by four Roman families, Castello di Ama has been run since 1982 by trusted winemaker Marco Pallanti and his wife, Lorenza Sebasti, who is also the CEO of the winery. While Castello di Ama is known today for producing Tuscany’s first great Merlot – their L’Apparita, they also craft two smaller versions of single-vineyard Chianti Classico blends, Vigneto La Casuccia and Vigneto Bellavista. This reference-point Tuscan grower-producer is made up of 210-hectares. Of that there are 75-hectares under vine, 45-hectares of olive trees and 100-hectares of woodland and has some of the most beautiful vistas of the Chianti Classico region. Castello di Ama creates extraordinary wines with seven reds, one white, one rosé and one sweet wine currently in production.
