2007 Chianti Classico, Castello di Ama, Tuscany

Chianti Classico, Castello di Ama, Tuscany
This blend comprises 80% Sangiovese and a further 20% split between Malvasia Nera, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Nero. Cool fermented for many days before being aged in 20% new French barriques, there is a reassuring warmth and softness to this wine which is a hallmark of the vintage, and it certainly flatters the senses.

Chianti Classico, Castello di Ama, Tuscany
The 2007 Chianti Classico Castello di Ama is fabulous. There is so much going on in the glass, as endless layers of perfumed dark red fruit caress the palate in stunning style. The wine’s precision, elegance and overall sense of harmony are all first class. Smoke, tar and roses add the final layers of complexity on the finish. Today the wine is mostly remarkable for its exceptional silkiness; readers will have to wait at least a few years for the aromatics and flavors to develop tertiary nuances. The Castello is a wine that sets a new standard for what is possible within the Chianti Classico appellation. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.

Castello di Ama remains a reference-point producer in Tuscany. My visit to the property last year culminated with the stunning 1988 Apparita, still in great shape after all these years. The house style seeks a rich, bold expression of fruit that requires significant bottle aging to reach its apogee, even if the wines can be very showy when young. Make no mistake about it, these are some the most pedigreed wines being made anywhere.
