Vintage Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Reserva 2006
£77.00
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!
This 2006 “AMA” displays a dark, deep ruby. The nose is lavish and emphatic, showing impressions classic to Sangiovese, such as raspberry, wild berries, sweet violets, all well integrated with earthy notes, juniper, and pungent resin. The palate, broad and deep, is pure elegance, exhibiting seductive tannins, outstanding acidity, and generous drinkability. Beautifully married fruit and spice grace a very lengthy finish.
