Castello di Ama Al Poggio Chardonnay 2023
The white grape varieties traditionally cultivated in the Chianti Classico region, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Lunga del Chianti, find their best oenological expression in Vinsanto. Still, the highly calcareous soil and the altitude of the slopes of Ama offer greater possibilities for producing great white wine. In 1982 and 1983, some plots were replanted with Chardonnay clones from Burgundy.

Colour

Clear, bright gold.

Bouquet

Floral with hints of typically summery white flowers. Fruity reminiscent of summer fruits such as apricot, and a fairly important almond note.

Flavour

Defined in the opening, with an excellent mineral and fresh structure. Excellent persistence and length.

Pairing

Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
