| Taste | The taste is fragrant, with good balance and roundness. Freshly pressed, it has a distinctive slightly spicy and bitter taste. |
| Production method | Correggiolo, Moraiolo, Leccino and Frantoio: hand-picked olives are pressed on the same day in our mill to keep their fragrance and nutritional value intact. A limited production per tree to enhance the quality and organoleptic aspects: between 5 and 7 kilos of olives are harvested from an adult olive tree, which will yield just under 1 litre of oil. |

The founding of Castello di Ama dates back to 1976, when four families originally from Rome set out to restore a prestigious wine estate to the splendor it deserved. The estate, which originally consisted of 55 hectares and was located in the heart of Chianti Classico, was immediately enhanced through major investments in the vineyard, following the most up-to-date agronomic techniques of the time, and the construction of a new winery, equipped with steel tanks, temperature control and large work spaces.
To date, Castello di Ama owns and manages about 75 hectares of vineyards and 40 hectares of olive groves, relying on the work of more than 60 people. The role of general manager and oenologist is held continuously by Marco Pallanti, who served, between 2006 and 2012, as President of the Chianti Classico Consortium, bringing the contribution of the creation of the 'Gran Selezione' category with the aim of highlighting the extraordinary quality and diversity of the region's wines.
