Winemaker’s notes:
Castello di Ama 2020 Chianti Classico AMA is ruby red with vermillion nuances. Aromas are fruity with red fresh fruits, cherry and raspberry notes. The palate is elegant and harmonic with well-balanced spicy notes already at the first impact.

Critical Acclaim:
“Blue flower, sandalwood, cassis and spice shape the nose on this lovely red. All about finesse and youthful tension, the savory, elegantly structured palate features juicy Morello cherry, coffee bean and star anise framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced and focused. Drink through 2027.”  93 Pts – Wine Enthusiast

“Fleshy and firm, with plum, cherry, iron and Tuscan scrub flavors. Reveals tannins, but is mouthwatering in the end. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now.”  90 Pts – Wine Spectator

“A fresh and composed red with blackcurrant and blueberry aromas with minerals and citrus underneath. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a racy, long finish. Drink or hold.”  93 Pts – James Suckling
