2019 Collector’s Case, Castello di Ama
Scoring 97+, 98+ and 100 points from Antonio Galloni!
Castello di Ama is one of the greatest estates in Chianti Classico. Situated in the southern-most part of the appellation, the property is owned by husband-and-wife team Marco Pallanti and Lorenza Sebasti. Over the last quarter of a century, they have established a reputation as one of the region’s very best producers.
A superb vintage, Castello di Ama was able to make all three of their Gran Seleziones in 2019. Antonio Galloni describes the wines as ‘the most impressive I have ever tasted’.
Bellavista is a wine of ‘breathtaking intensity’. A blend of Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera, the Malvasia Nera lends an intriguing floral character to this richly textured wine.
The ‘incredibly powerful’ L’Apparita comes from two parcels at the top of the Bellavista vineyard. This 100% Merlot has been an icon since its first vintage in 1985.
The ‘stunning’ La Casuccia is 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot. With an outstanding score of 100 points from Galloni, this is the ‘wine of the vintage in Chianti Classico’.
Simply put, these wines are exceptional and we’re offering you a rare opportunity to purchase a stunning collector’s case comprising two bottles of each.

2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista
‘The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista soars out of the glass with breathtaking intensity in all of its dimensions. The aromatics alone are striking, but that’s just the beginning. Rich and sumptuous on the palate, the 2019 is the most refined Bellavista I have ever tasted, and I have tasted them all. A healthy dollop of Malvasia Nera adds savory notes and a good deal of grip, while clean mineral nuances extend the finish. The tannins are especially polished, which they rarely are in a young Bellavista.’ 97+ points, Antonio Galloni, June 2022
2019 L’Apparita
‘The 2019 L’Apparita is incredibly powerful in this vintage. Huge searing tannins wrap around a core of dark-fleshed fruit. Incense, tobacco, chocolate, mocha, lavender and spice open, but only reluctantly. Whereas most 2019s in the Ama range are quite inviting at this stage, L’Apparita is a wine for the cellar. In other words, the 2019 is a tight, backward Apparita that demands patience.’ 98+ points, Antonio Galloni, June 2022
2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia
‘The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is stunning. What a wine! In this vintage, the aromatics are huge and expansive, a theme that comes through on the palate as well. Cedar, tobacco, dried leaves, incense and blood orange all race out of the glass. The 2019 is mind-blowing in its intensity, pedigree and overall balance. It’s the wine of the vintage in Chianti Classico.’ 100 points, Antonio Galloni, June 2022
