Note di degustazione
Amazing aromatic array of thyme, lavender, fresh tobacco, crushed dried roses, exotic tea and cured meat notes. Really dense at the core of the palate with a silky voluptuous velvet-like tannin profile with smoky black cherry fruit flavours. Wonderfully fleshy palate yet incredibly refreshing acidity and some nice grip on the finish. Will age beautifully. (80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot)

From the small vineyard facing Castello di Ama from the north, the 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto la Casuccia shows a dark and hearty side with rich fruit that flows steadily from the bouquet. Like the other new releases from this iconic estate, this wine shows a pretty earthy note that is particularly well defined and fine-tuned in this vintage. The fruit is broad, thick and horizontal. This is a Sangiovese painted with broad brush strokes. It'll stand another decade or two, or open it sooner with a pappardelle al cinghiale.
The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is rich, sensual and inviting, as it so often is. The addition of Merlot to Sangiovese yields a Chianti Classico built on textural resonance, with silky tannins, soft curves and tons of sheer allure. The 2016 won't be ready to drink anytime soon, but it is unquestionably a great wine in the making. Succulent dark cherry, red plum, menthol, licorice, cloves and new oak infuse the creamy, voluptuous finish.
A dense and layered red with spice and berry character. Medium to full body. Blueberry, wet-earth and walnut undertones. Iodine. Shows structure and intensity. Drink in 2020 and onwards.

Castello di Ama è una delle tenute più prestigiose del Chianti Classico. Situata nella zona più meridionale della denominazione, la tenuta produce vino solo dalla fine degli anni '70, ma da allora si è guadagnata la reputazione di essere una delle migliori della regione.
