2007 Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia Chianti Classico add to summary
96 points. The estate’s 2007 Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia is deep, dark and sensual with a warm core of fruit that radiates from its poised frame. This shows superb density, richness and finesse from start to finish, with exceptional depth and fabulous overall balance. It is without question a wine for the future, but the richness of the fruit and the extraordinary silkiness of the tannins bode for an immensely rewarding life ahead. Sweet floral notes add freshness and lift to the finish. What a wine! Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032.

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.

2007 Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia Chianti Classico add to summary
95 points. A ripe, concentrated red, with brambly cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. Sweet at its core, this is just tight now, ending with firm tannins. Really blossoms after an hour, turning silkier. Best from 2014 through 2025.
