Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2020 Vigneto La Casuccia Castello di Ama

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2020 Vigneto La Casuccia from Castello di Ama is a red wine of great personality, produced in very limited quantities and reserved for the best vintages. It is born from a careful selection of parcels of Sangiovese and Merlot, with the aim of best expressing the identity of the vineyard and the precision of the work in the vineyard. It is a label designed for those seeking an authoritative, deep Chianti Classico that can evolve over time.

Territory and wine style

Castello di Ama has been working for years on a careful study of the terroir and, since 1978, has identified some particularly suited parcels within its vineyards. La Casuccia was created in 1985 as the first blend obtained from the separate harvest of three parcels, a choice that enhances the balance between territorial expression and stylistic complexity. The selection comes from a vineyard divided into several plots and characterized by targeted planting and replanting, with terraces that favor exposure and more homogeneous ripening. The result is a wine of strong identity, rich yet measured, capable of combining energy, finesse, and depth.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense and luminous ruby color. The aromatic profile is broad and seductive, with hints of ripe red fruit intertwined with notes of licorice, tobacco, cocoa, balsamic, vanilla, and sweet toasting. On the palate, it is enveloping, endowed with rich extract and significant structure, supported by powerful yet elegant tannins. Freshness accompanies the sip and contributes to the overall balance, while the finish is long and persistent, with returns of chocolate and sweet spices.
