This is the great wine of the Castello, born from the Mormoreto vineyard planted in 1976. The wine was produced  with the 1983 vintage and since then it has been produced in the most favourable years; 1984, 1987, 1989, 1992, 1998 and 2002. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot vines, planted 150 years ago, have brilliantly merged with the land, enhancing its unique character. It is an opulent, deep wine of great finesse and longevity. The vintage '97 at Castello di Nipozzano was particularly positive for the quality of the grapes harvested. The year was marked by a spring frost which reduced the yields, raising the quality of wine to very high levels.

Chianti Classico Castello di Ama is produced from vineyards located at altitudes between 390m and 520m above sea level. The 2006 is to be remembered as one of the best vintages of the last twenty years for the entire Chianti Classico territory.

Dark ruby with intriguing transparency at the edges. Intense bouquet with strong fruity and floral notes typical of Sangiovese (raspberries, berries, violets) well blended with earthy notes, juniper and resin.

The taste is elegant, deep with smooth tannins, excellent freshness and great drinkability. The fruity character emerges in the finish, well blended with pleasant spicy notes. The finish is very persistent.

Wine obtained from vineyards about 30 years old with a planting density of 10,000 vines per hectare at an altitude of 400/600 metres above sea level. The yield per hectare is 30 hectolitres.

The land is not subjected to any kind of fertilisation, but is only treated with clay, propolis and grapefruit seed extract. The grapes are harvested in 40 separate parts.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 40hl steel tanks. Ageing takes place for 8 months in second, third and fourth passage French oak barriques and 10 months in cement. 

The result is a complete, mouth-watering and authentic wine with an impressive drinking capacity. It is a pleasure to follow the interweaving of its notes and be seduced by its precise tannins, perhaps accompanying it with red meats.
