Description
The Chianti Classico Castello di Ama San Lorenzo wine comes from the splendid valley overlooked by the 18th-century villas. It is made from grapes from old plantings and from those that, having been planted at least ten years ago, demonstrate at harvest that they have reached a perfect level of polyphenolic ripeness.
