CASTELLO DI AMA BELLAVISTA 750 ml

Description

Picture yourself winding through the rolling Tuscan hills toward the ancient fortified village of Ama, nestled between Radda and Gaiole in the Chianti Classico heartland. There stands Castello di Ama, enveloped by sweeping countryside that whispers tales of noble lineages from the region's origins. This estate's Bellavista Vineyard catches the sun's glow across a hillside slope, drawing you closer with its promise of rarity.

From select years alone comes the 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista, with just 5,000 to 6,000 bottles crafted each time—no releases in 2017, 2014, 2012, or 2010. Such scarcity elevates every sip into an event, born from vineyards tended with precision on fertile ground under ideal sunlight angles.

Pour it out, and a pure ruby red hue fills the glass, captivating at first glance. Lift it to your nose, where pomegranate mingles with exotic dark berries and subtle tobacco fragrance. On the tongue, it delivers a burst of succulence and juice, wrapped in a silky, supple flow that reveals layer upon layer of intricacy.

Critics have hailed its excellence: 98 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for its concentrated fruit depth, wild berry aromas, crushed mineral, rose, tobacco, and minty herb notes that build patiently. Vinous awards 97+ points, praising breathtaking intensity, sumptuous richness, refined savoriness, polished tannins, and a mineral-laced close. James Suckling gives 96 points, noting blackberry, brambleberry, bark, and mushroom leading to a full-bodied chewiness with enduring structure.

This wine stands compact yet generous, firm with profound depth that evolves gracefully. At 14% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, its dry profile invites pairing with hearty meals or quiet reflection. Secure a bottle from Castello di Ama Bellavista today, and bring a slice of Chianti Classico's elite hillside legacy to your table.
