Castello di Ama San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2021

Castello di Ama stands as a beacon of excellence in Chianti Classico, a winery that has meticulously cultivated an incredible reputation since its founding in 1972 by a visionary group of four families. Nestled in a picturesque medieval hamlet in Gaiole in Chianti, the estate is revered not just for its stunning wines but also for its seamless integration of contemporary art within its historic landscape – a unique testament to the founders’ passion.

Their dedication to quality is evident in every bottle, from their esteemed Chianti Classico Gran Selezione wines like San Lorenzo, Bellavista, and La Casuccia, to their groundbreaking L’Apparita, Tuscany’s first pure Merlot, which has achieved legendary status and even a perfect 100-point score for its 2016 vintage.

Castello di Ama meticulously farms its high-altitude vineyards, characterized by classic galestro and alberese soils, emphasizing low yields and sustainable practices to ensure an authentic and intense expression of Sangiovese and other varieties. Their wines are consistently praised by critics for their elegance, complexity, and remarkable aging potential, solidifying Castello di Ama’s place not just as a leader in Chianti Classico, but among the finest wineries in the world.
