Wine Description:
Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Vigneto Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is a Gran Selezione example of Chianti Classico representing the pinnacle of the appellation. This wine is crafted from grapes grown in the San Lorenzo vineyard, which boasts optimal sun exposure and higher altitude promoting both ripeness and freshness simultaneously. The winemaking process involves a minimum of 3 years of aging in barrels before release resulting in a wine with more resolved tannins and tertiary complexity. It is a true testament to the artistry and quality of Chianti Classico wines.

Wine Expert Note:

The Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Vigneto Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is an exceptional wine that showcases the potential of mature Chianti Classico. The wine has a medium ruby color leading to a complex nose with notes of intense sour cherry, dried herbs, and leather. The palate is medium-bodied, with resolved, dusty tannins and bright acidity. The finish is very long with notes of leather and pipe tobacco. Serve with aged hard Italian cheeses and drink within 10 years.
