Why you’ll love it:
Castello di Ama is one of Chianti's most respected wineries with a history dating back to the 11th century, but it wasn't until the 80s after Marco Pallanti assumed running of the winery did it become the modern version we know of today. Marco and his wife Lorenza spent over 10 years assessing the microclimate of their estate before stripping out most of their 90ha of vines and replanting the right vines in the right site to ensure even ripeness and maximum fruit quality. The winery today is committed to producing some of the best quality Chianti Classico wines.
Tastes Like?
Dark ruby red with crimson hues. The nose has fruity notes that is rich with forest berries and plum, and hints of ripe fruit and jam. Spicy hints of cinnamon and cloves, with tertiary notes conjuring up tobacco, leather, tanned hide, with a distract toasty note. Delicate attack, velvety tannins, rich, rounded flavor, lingering and stylish.
