CASTELLO DI AMA LA CASUCCIA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2018
Vigneto La Casuccia, whose first vintage was 1985, was the first blend produced from the separate harvesting of three parcels of Sangiovese and Merlot.
The wine is produced in exceedingly limited quantities and only in the best vintages.
Vigneto La Casuccia is an impactful wine. In many vintages, it emerges energetic, balanced, sensual and vivacious, requiring time to fully express its full potential.

Tasting Notes:
Colour: Pure ruby-red with purplish notes.
Nose: Closed at this step, tertiary notes of pipe tobacco and leather.
Taste: Tannic flavor. Tannins are ripen armonic and delicate.
Grape Varietal(s):
Sangiovese, Merlot
Awards & Accolades (Robert Parker/ Wine Spectator/ James Suckling etc):
“Slightly more contained next to the 2019 vintage that I tasted at the same time, the Castello di Ama 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto la Casuccia offers ample volume and fruit weight, but it holds back slightly on the mid-palate. The 2018 vintage tends to deliver all of its brooding intensity up front, leaving you with plenty of black fruit, spice and tobacco to fuel a long finish. Ultimately, 2019 shows more depth and dimension. However, this beautiful wine should not go overlooked, especially if long cellar aging is not your objective.” – Wine Advocate, 95 points
“A very polished and refined bottle with creamy, velvety tannins that are poised and fine. Medium-bodied with a lovely center palate and a flavorful finish. A little tight at the end. Try after 2022 and onwards.” – James Suckling, 95 points
“The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is fabulous. A heady, opulent wine, the 2018 possesses tremendous energy to match its explosive personality. The plush fruit and soft, silky curves are pure Casuccia. The 2018 needs at least a handful of years in bottle, as it is a wine that only truly blossoms with time.” – Antonio Galloni, 97 points
