Castello di Ama San Lorenzo 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

A Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Castello di Ama, made mainly from Sangiovese with Merlot and Malvasia. The grapes come from old vines on the slopes of the San Lorenzo valley, which hold some of the best vineyards in the Chianti Classico zone. The wine matures for one year in barrique. It is a bright, intense ruby red. The nose opens on overripe strawberry, sour cherry and plum, then moves to tobacco, liquorice, leather and mint. The tannins are smooth and the body full and energetic yet balanced, with a long, refined finish. It suits red meats, game and veal roll.
