CASTELLO DI AMA 

Ama takes its name from a small borgo, an agricultural hamlet, nestled in the hills at an altitude of almost 500 metres. Five centuries ago it was a hub of a florid farming and winemaking business overseen by a group of local families. The hills and valleys surrounding the castle of Amma are the most beautiful in all Chianti, superbly tended with fertile grain fields, olive groves and magnificent vineyards. Castello di Ama, the winery, was founded in the 1970s by a group of families who had fallen under the spell of this magical spot. They set themselves the task of reviving Ama’s past glories and of producing wines that would rank among the best in the world.

Ama’s wines are well situated, in full sun, beautifully tended, as if they were gardens.

CHIANTI CLASSICO VIGNETO LA CASUCCIA

Beginning in 1978, certain parcels were identified as possessing outstanding soil and microclimates due to extensive research into the terroir of the Castello di Ama vineyards.

Vigneto La Casuccia, whose first vintage was 1985, was the first blend produced from the separate harvesting of three parcels of Sangiovese and Merlot.

The wine is produced in exceedingly limited quantities and only in the best vintages.

Vigneto La Casuccia is an impactful wine. In many vintages, it emerges energetic, balanced, sensual and vivacious, requiring time to fully express its full potential.
