Ruby red color with vermillion nuances. Fruity, fresh red fruits, with cherry and raspberry notes on the nose. The taste is elegant and harmonic with well-balanced spicy notes already at first impact. This voluptuous, fruity and harmonious Ama Chianti Classico expresses all of the elegance of the estate’s wines.
Blend: 96% Sangiovese, 4% Merlot

Reviews:

• Wine Critic: The sensory freshness is dazzling in its' beautiful scents of cherries, lemon blossom, lime rind and bergamot. In the background white nuances tell of the presence of magnolia and jasmine. Medium bodied, vibrant tannins and a sharp, lively finale which lights up the scene at every sip. Special one! Better from 2022.

• James Suckling: This is really juicy and delicious with ripe cherries and berries, as well as some bark and dried orange. Medium to full body with round, refined tannins and a flavorful finish. Transparent and linear. Lively at the end. Excellent energy. Drink or hold.

Producer Information

Ama is an old, fortified village situated near Radda and Gaiole in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The Castello or Castle of Ama is surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan countryside and is near some of the original, noble families of the Chianti region. The meticulously cultivated vineyards are privy to optimal exposures and consist of fertile soils. Ama is a modern estate comprising 500 acres of land, 200 of which are vineyards. These vineyards are divided into five important parcels; San Lorenzo, Bellavista, La Casuccia, Bertinga and Montebuoni. In the 1970s, four families formed a partnership and purchased the property with the goal of producing world-class wines. Castello Di Ama is unique, employing its best Sangiovese to produce Chianti Classico, unlike many Tuscan producers who have chosen to blend their best Sangiovese into Vini da Tavola or Super Tuscans. In addition to the acclaimed Chianti Classico produced in each vintage, the crus of Bellavista and La Casuccia are produced only in outstanding vintages and in extremely limited quantity. These wines in their concentration, harmony and overall elegance represent the best expression of Sangiovese in Tuscany.
