BAN

Castello di Ama Chianti Classico AMA 2022 is a blend of 96% Sangiovese and 4% Merlot, showcasing the estate’s dedication to varietal expression and balance. Each grape variety was vinified separately in stainless steel tanks using natural yeasts at controlled temperatures.

The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in French oak barriques, followed by a 12-month aging period in second-use oak barrels to enhance complexity while preserving freshness. The final blend reflects the harmony of traditional Sangiovese and a touch of Merlot’s softness, resulting in a structured yet approachable wine.

Color: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.
Aroma: Enticing notes of red currant, cherry, and violet, layered with subtle hints of strawberry and spice.
Palate: Medium-bodied and harmonious, with flavors of ripe red fruit, chalky minerality, and a touch of white pepper. The silky tannins and vibrant acidity lead to a crisp, refreshing finish.

CRITIC ACCLAIM

"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." -- James Suckling, 94 points

"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." -- Decanter, 91 points

"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." -- Vinous, Antonio Galloni, 91 points
