Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Vigneto Bellavista 2021 by Castello di Ama

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Vigneto Bellavista 2021 by Castello di Ama is a red wine with a strong territorial identity, an expression of one of the most representative vineyards of the denomination. This label is born from a careful selection of the best plots of the Bellavista vineyard and interprets Sangiovese with an elegant, deep profile oriented towards finesse, while enhancing both agronomic care and the vocation of the territory.

Territory and wine style

The Vigneto Bellavista extends over 22.82 hectares and is divided into 22 plots, with a value obtained also thanks to terracing, which favors better exposure and a more homogeneous ripening of the grapes. The selection destined for this Gran Selezione comes, in the best vintages, mainly from plots linked to Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera, two varieties that help define an authoritative, complex Chianti Classico, authentically tied to its landscape. The style is that of an important yet measured wine, capable of uniting structure and precision.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry, and small berries, with floral nuances and an aromatic weave that recalls fine spices and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is dry, enveloping, and well-structured, with present but elegant tannins, a freshness that supports the drinkability, and a long, harmonious, and persistent finish. The character is structured, yet always guided by balance.
