Impossibile caricare la disponibilità di ritiro
Known for the elegance, freshness, innate intensity and depth of its wines, critic Antonio Galloni has one stated, “Tuscan estate Castello di Ama has crafted some of the most riveting wines in Tuscany… Simply put, there are few estates in Italy at this level.”
Owners Lorenza Sebasti and Marco Pallanti have been making wines here since the 1970s, around the hamlet of Ama, perched 450-550 metres above sea level. Castello di Ama is known for their commitment to excellence, which they believe begins in the vineyards. This is shown through respect and care for the land, manual processing of the grapes, and very low yields per acre to produce world class wines!
This 2009 Riserva displays an intense ruby red. The bouquet is composed of wild red berry fruit and dried herbal notes. The palate is gorgeous and complex, with a perfect marriage of fruit and spice being well integrated with silky tannins and bright acidity.
Producer description:
Located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Castello di Ama is a historic wine estate that seamlessly blends tradition with modern winemaking practices. The winery was founded in 1976 by four families from Rome who sought to restore a once-prestigious estate to its former glory. Situated in the charming village of Ama, in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti, Castello di Ama has grown from its initial 55 hectares to 75 hectares of vineyards, producing some of Italy’s most respected wines. Today, it is regarded as one of the premier wine producers in the Chianti Classico region.
