Note di degustazione
The Bellavista vineyard covers more the 22 hectares, which has been terraced to improve exposure and ensure more uniform ripening, with a Gran Selezione from the site only made in the best vintages. The 2021 offers an intense and intriguing nose of black fruit, with balsamic and floral notes, and a touch of spice. The blackberry and black cherry fruit dominate now, leading on to a warm and enveloping palate, with soft, silky tannins and a long finish. A blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Malvasia Nera, with each variety vinified separately, the clay-rich soils make for a complex, powerful and age-worthy wine.

You smell this and you know it’s a solid Bellavista, with blackcurrants, black cherries, blackberries, blood oranges and orange blossoms on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with a tight and focused palate that gives such precision in fruit and tannins. It needs another five year to soften and open. Try after 2028.
The Castello di Ama 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista shows dark color saturation and elegantly restrained aromas of dark cherry and blackberry. The Vigneto Bellavista is one of the Gran Cru sites in this appellation, with vines planted over the tall ridge of a sun-drenched hillside. That special positioning always gives this wine more concentration and complexity, ultimately. There is sweet fruit, ripe plum and spice, and these aromas are framed by a dark slate-like mineral note. The mouthfeel is compact and firm with a beautiful sense of lasting richness.
The 2021 Chianti Classica Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista is a stunner. Dense, powerful and forbidding, in classic Bellavista style, the 2021 packs an immense punch. It is also a very potent wine. All of the Bellavista signatures are present, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Graphite, sage, crushed rocks, lavender, mint and dried herbs all play off a core of cool, dark-toned fruit. The 2021 is a bruiser-a beautiful, vivid bruiser. I can't wait to see how it ages
