The Chianti Classico “Ama” is a Tuscan red wine that showcases all the refinement of Sangiovese. It is indeed a product that Castello di Ama assembles from the different vineyards where the new clones of this grape variety are cultivated, creating a wine in which smoothness and body manage to blend into a always satisfying drink, one that never gets tiring. A label that first saw the light with the 2010 vintage, ideal for tasting to start getting acquainted with the philosophy of Castello di Ama, a reality always linked to the production of great Chianti Classico.

The “Ama” is a Chianti Classico wine that originates from the new clones of Sangiovese grown in the vineyards owned by the Castello di Ama winery. The grapes come from the plots of Bellavista, Casuccia, San Lorenzo, Bertinga, and Montebuoni, and once harvested, they ferment thanks to indigenous yeasts, macerating for about 15 days. The aging phase then proceeds, which initially takes place for 12 months in barrique, and then, after bottling, for an additional 12 months directly in glass. At the end of these two years, the wine is ready to be marketed.

The Chianti Classico “Ama” is a wine that, in the glass, presents itself with a brilliant and luminous hue, reminiscent of the color of ruby. The array of aromas that develops on the nose is interesting, with fruit notes that gradually shift towards spiciness. On the palate, it is full-bodied, balanced, with a sip characterized by a pleasant freshness; it finishes with a finale whose aftertaste has a clear fruity imprint. One of the latest creations from the range produced by the Castello di Ama winery, it is ideal for tasting alongside game dishes, red meats, and aged cheeses.
