Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Montebuoni Riserva 2020
In 1997 we purchased and replanted the Montebuoni vineyards of 14.50 hectares, a beautiful estate bordering the Bellavista vineyard. Since its planting, the vineyard has been managed according to a protocol based on the 3 pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental and social. With the 2018 vintage comes Castello di Ama Montebuoni, an exclusive Chianti Classico wine, the fruit of grapes from the vineyard of the same name integrated with other Sangiovese from the estate, which meets the quality requirements typical of all Castello di Ama wines.

Colour

Deep ruby red with purple reflections.

Bouquet

Fruity bouquet of wild berries, blackberry, raspberry, currant.

Flavour

Harmonious, with a persuasive and full attack followed by a noble polyphenolic profile which lingers in the mouth for a long time, expressing all the elegance of our wines.

Vinification The must was vinified in stainless steel tanks with the help of indigenous yeasts. Careful control of the fermentation temperature, which never exceeded 28-30 °C, and frequent manual pumping over gave this wine a beautiful ruby colour and distinct varietal aromas of the terroir. Maceration in contact with the skins for about 24 days, at the end of which the autochthonous bacteria developed the malic acid transformation.
