Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2018
This is the quintessential happy wine from Tuscany that will easily pair with wintery pici al ragù or summery pasta al pomorodo. There is enormous versatility in the all-season Castello di Ama 2018 Chianti Classico Ama. The wine is round, plump and approachable. It offers enormous freshness and the bright berry intensity of the Sangiovese grape. Red cherry and cassis are backed by red rose petal and softly fragrant potting soil. I tasted this wine immediately after Castello di Ama's Pinot Nero di Toscana Il Chiuso, and I was struck by the similarities of the two wines in terms of silkiness and those pretty rose aromas...

Really delicious and a consistently great value wine across vintages. Red cherry, mint and orange bitters. Can't go wrong.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Ama shows just how promising the vintage is. A burst of sweet red cherry fruit, cedar, leather, spice and orange peel give the 2018 a feeling of exuberance that is impossible to miss. The purity of the flavors is just striking. This is such a beautiful wine. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020)

Nice chianti classico. Slightly young. Still a little bit harsh at the end of both nose and palate. Nice dark ripe fruits nose. Erbs, spices flavours with tannic end.
