This is really juicy and delicious with ripe cherries and berries, as well as some bark and dried orange. Medium to full body with round, refined tannins and a flavorful finish. Transparent and linear. Lively at the end. Excellent energy. Drink or hold. -94pts James Suckling
Winemaker Notes
Bright ruby red. Aromas of violet, redcurrant cherries and strawberries. A fragrant and harmonic palate with well-balanced fruity notes, polished tannins and fresh acidity. Fruity and harmonic, the voluptuous Ama Chianti Classico expresses all the elegance of the estate’s wines.
