Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Vigneto San Lorenzo 1988 DOCG 0,75l

Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Vigneto San Lorenzo 1988 DOCG 0,75l is a testament to Tuscan terroir, born from the meeting of a historic vineyard and the vision of an estate capable of transforming raw materials and time into an expression of quiet grandeur. Set within the Chianti Classico landscape, Vigneto San Lorenzo conveys a maturity built over the years with patience and care, now offering a bottle capable of remaining faithful to its territory while opening up to remarkable depth. Castello di Ama is an estate rooted in the heart of Gaiole in Chianti, where winemaking tradition has evolved through a management approach that values local identity without losing sight of contemporary development: a family and team of professionals who have skillfully woven together attention to the vineyard, wine culture, and hospitality, transforming the wine experience into an encounter between history and the present. The production philosophy is based on meticulous vine management, moderate yields, and artisanal production, with practices that prioritize soil biodiversity, careful hand harvesting, and aging that combines selected woods with slow maturation, allowing the wine to develop in balance between power and refinement without forcing the process. Among its distinctive elements is the unique expression of San Lorenzo: a character that, while retaining deep notes of black fruit, opens up to earthy textures, pepper, sweet spices, and a discreet minerality that acts as a link between tensile tannins and lingering freshness, offering a slow, coherent, and memorable progression on the palate. Within the Castello di Ama range, the 1988 stands as a milestone, testifying to the estate’s ability to convey the vineyard’s complexity and the characteristic longevity of Chianti Classico in the glass, serving as a bridge between artisanal heritage and the evolution of the contemporary table. In line with the STELT positioning, this bottle is a choice for those seeking authenticity, longevity, and a profound connection with the territory—an invitation to discover how time can transform terroir into a lasting sensory experience.
