97 James Suckling
Beautiful focus with sage and rosemary to the plum and chocolate character. Some green olives, too. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that caress the palate. Just hints of vanilla and dried flowers to the fruit. Pretty texture and length to the wine at the end. Drinkable but better in 2027.
95 Robert Parker
The 2020 L'Apparita opens to a midnight black color and an impenetrable appearance. This Merlot set the benchmark for the grape in Tuscany and continues to do so today, despite the various challenges to an early-ripening variety facing climate change. The 2020 vintage remains rich and opulent, even heavy on the mid-palate, with lots of thick fruit layering and soft tannins. It ends with sweet fruit and barbecue spice.
95 Wine Spectator
A viscous, salted licorice–tinged red, with plum, earth and spice flavors. Reveals a solid grip of tannins lining the finish, leaving a compact feeling today. Concentrated, powerful and complex, just needs time to come together. Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2042.

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.
