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. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2024

These new releases from Castello di Ama are spectacular. I tasted the wines twice, once at the property and a second time a few weeks later in New York, where I was able to follow them over time. The 2021s here are truly special wines that will thrill those lucky enough to own them for many years to come.
