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.
