2006 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Vigneto Bellavista DOCG - 750ml
Robert Parker - 96 points
The 2006 Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia (Sangiovese, Merlot) reveals stunning clarity and freshness in its black cherries, violets, minerals and sweet spices. This dense, richly-textured wine possesses staggering richness and elegance along with breathtaking clarity and precision. Notes of leather, smoke, tar and licorice linger on the long, intense finish. (8/2009)
Castello Di Ama is unique, employing its best Sangiovese to produce Chianti Classico, unlike many Tuscan producers who have chosen to blend their best Sangiovese into Vini da Tavola or Super Tuscans.
The crus of Bellavista and La Casuccia are produced only in outstanding vintages and in extremely limited quantity. These wines in their concentration, harmony and overall elegance represent the best expression of Sangiovese in Tuscany.
Ama also produces the distinctive single-vineyard Merlot l'Apparita from the upper portion of the Bellavista vineyard.
