Castello di Ama is one of the most renowned wineries in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, Italy, known for producing wines that reflect both the tradition and innovation of the region. Located in the heart of Chianti, Castello di Ama was founded in the 1970s and has since become synonymous with high-quality, terroir-driven wines. Their vineyards consist of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.

The estate’s flagship wine, Castello di Ama Chianti Classico, is a blend of Sangiovese and other local varieties, showcasing the perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and structure that Chianti Classico is known for. The wine undergoes aging in oak barrels, which imparts additional complexity and a smooth texture.

A Note From Steve Morgan of The Sorting Table
"The last time I tasted Castello di Ama 2004 Riserva out of large format before our events last month at Foxcroft was in 2017 at the estate and opening this a few weeks ago left me in awe of how the fresh the wine still continues to be. The play of freshness and development of secondary flavors at the same time is a balance that I am always searching for in older wines.

2004 was a really warm vintage that got rain just in September before harvest and really brought the temperature of the grapes down and extended the hang time and allowed the wine to have still boisterous fruit but true balance.

Tasting it 21 years after harvest it is still showing youth and richness, but also has filled out with secondary aromas of roses, mushrooms, fall leaves and anise that make Sangiovese generally and Chianti specifically one of my favorite wines. It really shows Chianti at its apex of quality and has been aged perfectly at the winery for y’all.

I could only imagine if I got to celebrate 21 with a magnum of wine this amazing. I probably would have gotten into wine sooner."

"Appears a sparkling, purple-flecked ruby red. Impressions of pungent spice lift delicate but selfconfident notes of red fruit and fruit preserves on the nose. Undeniably, grand structure and rich, dense-packed tannins make up a complex yet extremely harmonious wine, with a long-lasting finish. Overall, exemplary elegance."
