Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Ama
The Vintage When Ama Got The Grand Vin Fruit.
The 2023 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Ama is an unusual vintage of the estate's younger-vine Chianti Classico. A dramatically small crop meant Castello di Ama did not bottle its usual lineup of Sangiovese-based wines separately, instead blending its top Chianti Classico fruit into Ama.
Made from 96% Sangiovese and 4% Merlot, the wine comes from high-density estate vineyards planted on clay and limestone soils between roughly 1,500 and 1,720 feet. The varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation and 12 months in second-use French barriques. Dark cherry, raspberry and red plum meet rose petals, blood orange, crushed stone and spice, with vibrant acidity and polished tannins.
