Tasting Notes: The Castello di Ama L’Apparita is pure, sensual Merlot from Tuscany that is remarkably nuanced. While it will only improve with time, there is much to enjoy today.
Estate History: Castello di Ama takes its name from a small borgo, or agricultural hamlet, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. Five centuries ago, it was the hub of a florid farming and winemaking business overseen by a group of local families. Castello di Ama, the winery, was founded in the 1970s by a group of families who had fallen under the spell of this magical spot. They set themselves the task of reviving Ama’s past glories and of producing a Chianti Classico that would rank among the world’s most prestigious wines.
