The founding of Castello di Ama dates back to 1976, when four families originally from Rome set out to restore a prestigious wine estate to the splendor it deserved. The estate, which originally consisted of 55 hectares and was located in the heart of Chianti Classico, was immediately enhanced through major investments in the vineyard, following the most up-to-date agronomic techniques of the time, and the construction of a new winery, equipped with steel tanks, temperature control and large work spaces.Iin 1982, with the arrival of Marco Pallanti, a young agronomist at the time, that the winery embarked on the decisive momentum in the pursuit of quality without compromise. This wine is produced from the finest grapes grown in the historic vineyards Bellavista, Casuccia, San Lorenzo and Montebuoni. It's an expression of Sangiovese blended with the smallest quantities of Merlot and Malvasia Nera, the hallmarks of this complex wine are finesse, elegance, intensity, length and freshness. Castello di Ama San Lorenzo has a remarkable ability to evolve, developing aromatic complexity and exemplary intensity over time.

97 Points - Perfumed and beautiful with flowers, cherries and raspberries. Forest fruits, too. Full-bodied with extremely fine tannins that run the length of the wine and are wonderfully integrated, spreading across the palate. Lasts for minutes. Better after 2025, but already fantastic.jamessuckling.com, December, 2022
17+ Points - Gaiole. 80% Sangiovese, 13% Merlot, 7% Malvasia Nera.
Lustrous ruby. Pretty, lifted, minerally cherry-fruit nose with hints of mace. More perfumed and with hints of complex oak, with aeration. Elegant, supple and still a little closed on the palate and with fine, gritty, long tannins. Long and supple but not fully open yet. 2024 – 2034JancisRobinson.com, April, 2023
