Chianti Classico DOCG 'Ama' 2022 (750 ml.) Castello di Ama
The Chianti Classico DOCG Ama from Castello di Ama is made from Sangiovese and Merlot hand-harvested in young vines (10–12 years) rooted in calcareous–clayey soils that impart finesse and energy. Vinification, carried out separately by variety, takes place with indigenous yeasts in steel at 30–32 °C, with manual pump-overs and a 25-day cuvaison, followed by natural malolactic fermentation. After blending, the wine ages for 12 months in fine-grained oak barriqueswith no new wood, preserving purity and typicity. In the glass it shows deep ruby color, aromas of ripe cherry, spices, and tobacco, with soft tannins and a long, balanced finish. Perfect with bistecca alla fiorentina, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, roasted meats, and aged cheeses, it fully expresses the harmony and authenticity of Chianti Classico.

Castello di Ama
Discover the excellence of Castello di Ama, a jewel in the heart of Chianti Classico where winemaking tradition meets contemporary art. Nestled among gentle hills and ancient villages, this medieval estate transforms every visit into an unforgettable sensory experience. Upon arrival, you are welcomed by perfectly aligned rows of vines stretching as far as the eye can see, witnesses to a centuries-old history. The indigenous grapes, tended with obsessive passion, yield wines of rare finesse: the Chianti Classico DOCG is soft and rounded, offering aromas of cherry and sweet spices, while the Riserva reveals a deeper soul, with hints of leather and tobacco.
Each glass tells the story of those who believe in the value of the land and artisanal labor. The winery itself—modern and cutting-edge—has been designed to respect the environment and ensure wine quality: first-pass French barriques cradle the wine for elegant aging, while oak casks follow a slow, meticulous ritual. Castello di Ama is more than just wine; it is a place of culture, where contemporary artworks dot the landscape, creating a unique dialogue between nature and creativity.
