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.
