Chianti Classico Vigneto Bellavista 1999 - Castello di Ama

Tasting notes

"The 1999 Chianti Classico Vigneto Bellavista comes across as big, rich and powerful. It doesn’t initially have the freshness of some of the more structured years, but then the fruit opens up and the wine literally explodes on the palate. If opened today the 1999 needs a lot of air. The wine is constantly changing in the glass, making it hard to peg down, but endlessly fascinating. Dried rose petals, mint, licorice and tobacco wrap around a vibrant finish that is at once powerful and seductive. Stylistically the 1999 lies somewhere between the truly opulent years and the more structured vintages, making it relatively accessible for this wine."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

According to Robert Parker, no single producter has done more to promote an upscale image for Chianti Classico than Marco Pallanti and Castello di Ama.

Castello Di Ama is unique, employing its best Sangiovese to produce Chianti Classico, unlike many Tuscan producers who have chosen to blend their best Sangiovese into Vini da Tavola or Super Tuscans.

The crus of Bellavista and La Casuccia are produced only in outstanding vintages and in extremely limited quantity. These wines in their concentration, harmony and overall elegance represent the best expression of Sangiovese in Tuscany.

Ama also produces the distinctive single-vineyard Merlot l'Apparita from the upper portion of the Bellavista vineyard.
