95 Vinous
A more exotic side of this site emerges from the 2008 L’Apparita. According to Marco Pallanti, the weather was quite warm in 2008. Rain towards the end of the season was more problematic for the later-ripening varieties, but that was not an issue for the Merlot. Black cherry, plum, smoke and licorice overtones add to an impression of darkness. Silky, beautifully ripe tannins and unctuous fruit with the natural richness that is achieved in late harvests add to the wine’s considerable appeal. This is one of my favorite wines of the afternoon.

Big and velvety with loads of dark fruit and milk chocolate. Full body, with velvety tannins and a decadent finish. Like chocolate mousse at the end. Turns very, very delicious. Loving this. The classic, pure Merlot from Chianti Classico. Drink now or hold

A tightly wound, linear red, with floral, black cherry, black currant, earth and mineral flavors shored up by edgy tannins. Balanced in a lean way, with a vibrant, resonant finish. Merlot. Best from 2015 through 2024. 100 cases imported. –BS

Castello di Ama
Au cœur du Chianti Classico, sur la commune de Gaiole, Castello di Ama est un domaine prestigieux. Il doit sa création en 1970 à quatre familles romaines. Depuis 1982, Castello di Ama est dirigé par l’œnologue de confiance Marco Pallanti et son épouse, Lorenza Sebasti, également PDG de la cave. Le domaine s’est forgé une réputation en tant qu’élaborateur du premier grand merlot toscan – L’Apparita – mais il signe également deux assemblages de Chianti Classico à titre plus confidentiel, Vigneto La Casuccia et Vigneto Bellavista. Producteur-récoltant incontournable en Toscane, il compte 210 hectares de terres, répartis entre 75 ha de vignobles, 45 ha d’oliviers et 100 ha de bois. Son panorama sur la région du Chianti Classico est l’un des plus spectaculaires. Castello di Ama crée des vins extraordinaires déclinés en sept rouges, un blanc, un rosé et un vin doux en cours d’élaboration.
