    Between the hills of Gaiole and Radda in Chianti, at an altitude of 460 to 525 metres, lies one of the most extraordinary wine estates in Tuscany. Since 1982, Marco Pallanti and Lorenza Sebasti have shaped the fortunes of Castello di Ama – a winemaking couple who have helped Chianti Classico achieve worldwide recognition. "Ama" was created in 2010 with the introduction of the Gran Selezione as an independent line and represents the essence of the estate's younger Sangiovese clones. Made from 96% Sangiovese and 4% Merlot, the wine comes from densely planted vineyards on chalky, clayey soils. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, fermented spontaneously with natural yeasts and matured for twelve months in second-use barriques.

    The result is a Chianti Classico of classic elegance: intense ruby red in the glass, with a nose of redcurrants, cherries and violets, underpinned by subtle spicy notes. On the palate, the 2023 is harmonious and fresh, with polished tannins and the lively acidity that gives Castello di Ama wines their characteristic finesse. An authentic expression of the terroir and the vintage – unpretentious, precise, quintessential Chianti Classico! SUPERIORE.DE

    "Bright colour, ruby red, beautiful spice on the nose, geranium, redcurrant, rosehip, raspberry, fragrant and very clear. Compact on the palate, with fine tannins and great juiciness, slightly salty, lots of sweet enamel, demands a second sip!" Falstaff

    "The 2023 Chianti Classico Ama is superb. Then again, it is the only Sangiovese-based wine Ama bottled in 2023. Dark red cherry, red plum, rose petal, blood orange, and pomegranate are all wonderfully delineated. Dynamic and vibrant in the glass, with superb character, the 2023 massively overdelivers. Readers who can find it should not hesitate." Vinous

    "A refined Chianti Classico with firm, racy tannins that give length and beauty to this. Black cherries, blueberries, crushed stones and raspberries on the center palate. A small crop, so they blended all their top Chainti Classicos." James Suckling
