Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia Single Vineyard

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!

The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is a powerhouse. Pronounced savoury and mineral notes infuse the 2020 with tons of complexity. Even in this warm year, the 2020 is not opulent, but it is packed with tremendous intensity and pure power. The La Casuccia single vineyard is best known for producing wines profound in their intensity and richness. The vineyard is also one of the smallest in Castello Di Ama’s holdings, only being made in exceptional years and exceedingly low quantities.
