Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Ama 2005 is an elegant expression of Tuscany, a blend of Sangiovese (90%) and Merlot (10%). It presents a deep ruby color with garnet reflections. The nose offers intense hints of ripe red fruits, violet, sweet spices, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, it is structured and elegant, with fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a long fruity and spicy finish. Aged in barriques for 12-18 months and then in the bottle, it is best served at 16-18°C, ideal with roasts and aged cheeses.
