About the wine

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.
