This wine is sourced from vines averaging 10-12 years of age planted in clay and calcareous soils at an altitude of 460-525 metres. Made almost entirely from Sangiovese, it's a buoyant, hearty wine with intense red cherry, strawberry and currant tones alongside firm tannins. Fresh, food-friendly, balanced and quite plush, this has the potential to evolve for up to a decade from vintage.
 
The 2023 Chianti Classico Ama is superb. Then again, it is the only Sangiovese-based wine Ama bottled in 2023. Dark red cherry, red plum, rose petal, blood orange, and pomegranate are all wonderfully delineated. Dynamic and vibrant in the glass, with superb character, the 2023 massively overdelivers. Readers who can find it should not hesitate.
