From one of Tuscany’s leading, most historically important estates, Castello di Ama’s Chianti Classico Riserva Montebuoni is a complex and refined wine from one of the estates single vineyards.

Ama is a small village in the historic heart of Chianti Classico, in central Tuscany, between the Florence and Siena. The grapes for this Chianti come from a vineyard called Montebuoni, it is mostly made from Sangiovese, with a small percentage of Merlot. The grapes are hand-harvest late August/early September. The Sangiovese and Merlot are vinified separately using native yeasts, in steel tanks at controlled temperature. With manual pumping overs to enhance the Sangiovese varietal character. The blending of the grape varieties takes place after malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in second-passage oak barriques approximately 12 months.
The world-famous Chianti producer Castello di Ama is steeped in history, but this hasn’t stopped it from pushing the boundaries forward in one of Italy’s most important wine-growing areas. It was in the 1970s that the Castle (Castello) in the small hamlet of Ama, in the subregion of Gaiole in Chianti, that life was breathed back into an ancient estate. A replanting of vineyards by four ambitious families, saw the beginning of a dazzling new chapter for Castello di Ama.
