CASTELLO DI AMA BELLAVISTA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2018
Beginning in 1978, certain parcels were identified as possessing outstanding soil and microclimates due to extensive research into the terroir of the Castello di Ama vineyards.
1982 was Marco Pallanti’s first harvest. Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista has always set the standard for the fine wines of Castello di Ama.
A blend of Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera, the wine fully conveys its distinctive personality with the Malvasia Nera aromas, which lend a floral and intriguing character.
Alongside the beauty of the bouquet, this wine is essentially centred on the finesse and elegance of the palate and “that subtle alternation between muscular power and grace”.

Its San Lorenzo wine was also Wine Spectator’s sixth highest rated wine in 2014.
Tasting Notes:
Pure ruby-red in colour. On the nose, an intrigue of exotic dark berries and pomegranate with fragrant tobacco notes. Juicy and succulent with a silky supple texture, complex nuanced and built for cellaring.
Grape Varietal(s):
Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera
Awards & Accolades (Robert Parker/ Wine Spectator/ James Suckling etc):
“The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista comes roaring out the gate with intensity and power, but it doesn't quite have the exceptional depth that we see in the 2019 vintage. This is a generous and exuberant wine with dark fruit, pressed blackberry, plenty of spice and great overall dimension. It's truly gorgeous, yet I might consider a slightly shorter drinking window for this full-bodied vintage.” – Wine Advocate, 96 points
“This is a very deep and serious Chianti Classico with bark, dark-mushroom and blackberry aromas that follow through to a full body with very polished and integrated tannins that are long and classy. A sophisticated and glorious wine. Drink in 2024 and onwards, but already very pretty.” – James Suckling, 97 points
“A rich, intense red, displaying black cherry, blackberry, menthol, iron and graphite flavors, this is polished and expressive, yet with beefy tannins lining the chalky finish. All the components are there—this just needs time. Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera. Best from 2024 through 2040. 544 cases made, 100 cases imported.” – Wine Spectator, 94 points
