Description

Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 Castello di Ama

The grapes used in the production of Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 are exclusively Sangiovese, Tuscany's most representative grape variety. The grapes come from the estate-owned La Casuccia vineyard, located in the area of Gaiole in Chianti, one of the most prestigious Chianti Classico production areas.

The vinification of Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 follows traditional techniques and artisanal production methods. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed, and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for about 15 days. Next, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for aging, where it rests for at least 12 months before release.

From an organoleptic point of view, Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 is a wine of great elegance and complexity. The nose reveals intense notes of ripe red fruit, spices and hints of oak. In the mouth it is full and structured, with soft, velvety tannins, excellent acidity and a long, lingering finish. This is a wine of great balance, fully expressing the character of its terroir of origin. Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 from Castello di Ama is a wine that can be cellared for many years before reaching its full maturity.

CASTELLO DI AMA

Ama takes its name from a small borgo, or agricultural hamlet, nestled in the hills at an altitude of almost 500 metres. Five centuries ago, it was the hub of a florid farming and winemaking business overseen by a group of local families. “The road from Radda leads to Amma, three miles away on a hill and home to the Pianigiani, Ricucci and Montigiani – the most prominent families in Chianti,” wrote Grand Duke Peter Leopold of Habsburg-Lorraine in his 18th-century Report on the government of Tuscany. “They are well-off country gentry that spend all their income on farming and vineyards, and take care of everything. The hills and valleys surrounding the castle of Amma are the most beautiful in all of Chianti, superbly tended with fertile grain fields, olive groves and magnificent vineyards.” The Grand Duke’s visit is commemorated by a plaque on one of the buildings in the borgo, which are now owned by the winery. 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.
