Description from the seller
# Castello di Ama – San Lorenzo 2022 – Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Gaiole – 6 bottles
**A prestigious lot consisting of 6 bottles of Castello di Ama San Lorenzo 2022**, one of the most representative and highly regarded wines from the historic estate in Gaiole in Chianti.
San Lorenzo is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that embodies Castello di Ama’s winemaking philosophy: showcasing Sangiovese through rigorous grape selection, an in-depth understanding of the region, and a constant pursuit of elegance.
A wine of great character, capable of combining structure and refinement with significant potential to evolve over time.
**The producer – Castello di Ama**
Located in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti, Castello di Ama is one of the most prestigious names in Tuscan winegrowing.
The estate has made a major contribution to enhancing the quality of the region, standing out for its attention to individual vineyards and its production of wines with a strong identity.
Under the winemaking direction of Marco Pallanti, Castello di Ama has earned international recognition, establishing itself as one of the leading producers of the most refined and age-worthy expressions of Sangiovese.
**The wine – San Lorenzo Gran Selezione**
San Lorenzo takes its name from the picturesque valley surrounding the estate and is made from a selection of the finest grapes from the estate’s historic vineyards.
The wine is made primarily from Sangiovese, complemented by Merlot and Malvasia Nera, varieties that contribute to its aromatic complexity and overall structure.
The vineyards lie in a hilly setting at high elevations, on predominantly limestone soils and with significant temperature variations.
These conditions encourage balanced grape ripening and contribute to the distinctive combination of freshness, depth, and fine tannins that sets Castello di Ama’s great wines apart.
**The 2022 vintage**
The 2022 vintage was characterized by generally warm, dry weather, which called for careful vineyard management.
Rainfall in the latter part of the summer helped the grapes complete their ripening.
San Lorenzo 2022 expresses the character of the vintage through a rich, intense, and harmonious profile, in which ripe fruit is accompanied by the freshness and stylistic precision typical of the estate.
**Winemaking and aging**
The grapes are harvested and carefully selected, ensuring that only bunches that have reached the desired quality level are retained.
The different varieties are vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to bring out their respective aromatic and structural characteristics.
After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barriques, where it develops further complexity, harmony, and elegance.
The use of oak is intended to support the wine’s evolution without overshadowing the expression of Sangiovese and the terroir.
**Tasting notes**
In the glass, it displays a deep, bright ruby-red color with elegant garnet hues.
The bouquet is broad, refined, and complex, featuring aromas of ripe cherry, black cherry, raspberry, and small forest berries.
With aeration, floral notes of violet emerge, accompanied by elegant hints of tobacco, licorice, sweet spices, aromatic herbs, and subtle balsamic nuances.
On the palate, it shows considerable yet balanced structure, with firm, elegant, well-integrated tannins.
Sangiovese’s freshness lends the wine energy, while the fruity and spicy notes accompany a deep, harmonious progression on the palate.
The finish is long, persistent, and refined, with pleasant echoes of red fruit, spices, and mineral notes.
**Aging potential**
San Lorenzo Gran Selezione is a wine designed to develop positively over time.
Its tannic structure, freshness, and aromatic concentration favor bottle aging, during which it can develop further tertiary nuances of tobacco, leather, forest floor, and spices.
The 2022 vintage therefore offers an interesting prospect both for tasting in the coming years and for longer-term cellaring under suitable conditions.
**Limited production and numbered bottles**
A distinctive feature of this lot is its numbered production.
As stated on the original labels, 10,752 Bordeaux bottles were produced for the 2022 vintage, in addition to other formats.
The bottles in this lot are individually numbered, a detail that attests to the traceability of the production and is of interest to enthusiasts.
**Lot highlights**
