The fresh and floral nature of this wine is more than evident, with black cherry and orange undertones. The palate is medium-bodied and refined, with silky tannins and mineral highlights. Tangy and crisp at the end. Drink now.

Blue flower, sandalwood, cassis and culinary spice shape the nose on this lovely red. All about finesse and youthful tension, the savory, elegantly structured palate features juicy Morello cherry, coffee bean and star anise framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced and focused.

Review Date: 02/2024
First produced in 2010, Ama was conceived following the estate’s extensive replanting project. Winemaker Marco Pallanti decided to bottle the younger, more productive vines separately from older plantings – the latter go into the San Lorenzo Gran Selezione. The 2022 is full of youthful vim. Scents of cinnamon, red plum and dark cherry percolate on the nose, and red rose lurks in the background. Medium in weight, it offers a mouthful of cherry pits and gravelly stones inflected with white pepper. Very juicy, peppy acidity joins a light, chalky tannin frame. (MM)

The 2022 Chianti Classico Ama opens with a burst of dark red cherry/plum fruit. Vibrant and generous, with bright acids, the Ama is an absolute delight. Its forward personality and impeccable balance make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. (AG)

Notes

Castello di Ama’s Chianti Classico 2022 is a refined and expressive Sangiovese, capturing the elegance and vibrancy of this historic estate. The nose opens with bright red cherry, wild berries, and dried violet, layered with hints of sweet spice, cedar, and crushed herbs. The palate is fresh yet structured, offering juicy red fruit, silky tannins, and a lively mineral core, all balanced by crisp acidity. A long, polished finish lingers with notes of balsamic and subtle earthiness. A poised and food-friendly Chianti Classico, perfect for pasta al ragù and grilled meats.
