93 Robert Parker
The 2014 L’Apparita is the latest edition of one of Italy’s most iconic Merlots. Fruit was left to ripen on the vines longer in 2014 as the summer temperatures really only got hot towards the very end of the season. The wine shows a soft and luscious bouquet with thick layers of red cherry, cassis, blueberry, spice, soft tobacco and a touch of bitter chocolate. Yet, despite the aromatic generosity, this edition offers lighter and more delicate lines on the inside. The tannins are firm and steady, but the structure is mild. The mouthfeel shows medium heft backed by long persistence. Balsam herb and cola add to the soft intensity.

Plenty of uber-linear blackberry, plum and licorice character, which just touches on hints of balsam and cassis bush. Full body, an extremely refined and elegant palate with so much uplifting but in-check acidity, and a fresh, lasting finish. Drink now or hold.

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.
