Vintage Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selectzione “San Lorenzo” 2015

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.”

Castello di Ama San Lorenzo is named after the picturesque San Lorenzo valley viewed from the estate’s eighteenth-century Villa Pianigiani and Villa Ricucci. The wine is produced from the finest grapes grown in the historic vineyards Bellavista, Casuccia, San Lorenzo and Montebuoni.

The 2015 San Lorenzo is effortlessly smooth – with everything seamlessly in balance. The lush and juicy cherries are complemented by spicy perfume, with white pepper notes dancing alongside the fruit. The core of this wine is still tightly packed – showing the potential for evolution here. Acidity drives the long, mouth-watering finish, which offers a twist of smoky, savoury tones. Hailing from legendary 2015 vintage; one of the finest in a two decades, this San Lorenzo is a showstopper wine. Striking the perfect balance between fruit intensity and structure.
