Castello di Ama 2006 L'Apparita Merlot (Toscana)
- Cellar Selection
- $169
L’Apparita is a divine and delicate expression of Merlot with rich layers of black cherry, blackberry, spice, mocha, cedar, exotic spice and polished stone that are seamlessly woven together. The wine hits the palate with the softness and richness of the world’s best Merlots and leaves a fading impression of fruit and spice that can be counted in many long…

Castello di Ama 1995 L' Apparita Merlot (Toscana)
- $150
Toasty, smoky, coffee aromas and dark black cherries on the nose and palate. The structure is impeccable, making it drinkable now and ageable, too. Not overly extracted, but concentrated and so complex it’s impossible to describe all the nuances.

Castello di Ama 1995 Cru Bellavista Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $150
One of Ama’s single-vineyard bottlings, this meets the requirements to be called Riserva, yet is never labeled as such. Tautly acidic, yet beautifully balanced by ample cherry-raspberry fruit. The finish is huge - long and wonderfully layered.

Castello di Ama 2001 l'Apparita Merlot (Toscana)
- Cellar Selection
- $150
Gorgeous, elegant, deeply layered and full of nuances, this delivers cherry candy, espresso and toasted notes with a refined herbal edge. Tones of rosemary, sage and thyme are weaved in with a careful touch and appear only in the background as a delicious afterthought. Dusty tannins and a firm consistency mean this wine will age well for years to come.

Castello di Ama 2006 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $42
This is a seriously beautiful Chianti Classico characterized by impressive elegance and a smooth, long feel that lasts many long minutes on the palate. The nose is equally pristine with bright but integrated aromas of dark fruit, spice and polished river stone.

Castello di Ama 1995 Cru La Casuccia Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $150
Another single-vineyard Chianti Classico from Ama, La Casuccia includes a small amount of Merlot in the blend, which lends a rounder, plummier character to the finished product. Very concentrated and rich.

Castello di Ama 2006 Vigneto La Casuccia Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $169
Vigneto La Casuccia is a big, meaty wine that when compared to Castello di Ama’s base Chianti Classico offers a bolder, more masculine style. It’s a bit overdone in places although 20% Merlot adds loads of structure and intensity.

Castello di Ama 2000 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Editors' Choice
- $38
Classy and precise. This is a wine that sooths and satisfies, but also is capable of playing at a pretty fast pace. The nose offers crisp red fruit, hints of orange and plenty of dry leather. Snappy and secure on the palate, with structured cherry and raspberry. Proportion could be its middle name.
