Chianti Classico 'Ama' Castello di Ama 2020

Chianti Classico "Ama" is a Tuscan red from which all the refinement of Sangiovese emerges. In fact, it is a product that Castello di Ama assembles from the different vineyards where new clones of this grape variety are cultivated, making a wine in which smoothness and body manage to merge into an ever-satisfying drink, of which one never tires. A label that saw the light for the first time with the 2010 vintage, it is ideal to taste to begin to get acquainted with the philosophy of Castello di Ama, a reality that has always been linked to the production of great Chianti Classico.

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

Chianti Classico "Ama" is a wine that, in the glass, has a bright and brilliant hue reminiscent of the colour of the ruby. Interesting is the set of scents that develops on the nose, with notes of fruit that slowly turn spicy. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, with a breath marked by a pleasant freshness; it ends with a finish whose aftertaste is clearly fruity. One of the latest creations in the range made by the Castello di Ama winery, it is ideal for tasting with game dishes, red meats and aged cheeses.
