The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Montebuoni 2021 from Castello di Ama comes from the Montebuoni vineyards cultivated with economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Grapes (95% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot) are vinified in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, controlled temperature, and manual pump-overs for a 24-day maceration. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages 12 months in second-use barriques, gaining deep ruby color, aromatic finesse, and flavor complexity. Perfect with grilled red meats, braised dishes, game roasts, aged cheeses, ragù pasta, and Tuscan specialties. It delivers an authentic, harmonious, persistent sip.

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.
Join our guided tours and vertical tastings to fully grasp each vintage’s evolution, and savor typical Tuscan dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, perfectly paired with our finest crus. Choose the among-the-vines picnic option or the full tour with lunch in the charming frescoed hall—an immersive journey through the flavors and stories that make Castello di Ama a truly unique experience.
For enthusiasts of the Vino45 collection, an exclusive promotional package is available that combines elite wines and local art in an unrepeatable itinerary. Come experience the magic of Castello di Ama—let yourself be conquered by the authentic charm of Chianti Classico!
