Castello di Ama L'Apparita 2020 is an exclusive red wine from Tuscany IGT in Italy, made from 100% Merlot. The wine is considered one of the most iconic Merlot wines from Tuscany, and Castello di Ama themselves describe L’Apparita as the first pure Merlot produced in Tuscany, with the first vintage in 1985. The grapes come from two parcels at the top of the Bellavista vineyard, where the predominantly clayey soil contributes to the wine's depth, finesse, and distinctive terroir character.

In the glass, Castello di Ama L'Apparita 2020 presents as an intense and refined red wine with great concentration and elegant structure. Descriptions of the vintage highlight aromas of cassis, dark berries, cigar ash, espresso, lavender, violet, and chalky minerality, while the taste is rich, opulent, and silky smooth with soft tannins, dense fruit, and a long, harmonious finish.

L'Apparita 2020 is an excellent choice for those seeking a grand Tuscan wine experience with both power and elegance. The wine is described as characterful, long, and age-worthy, and it pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, and aged cheeses. The bottle comes in 75 cl.

95 /100

The 2020 L'Apparita opens to a midnight black color and an impenetrable appearance. This Merlot set the benchmark for the grape in Tuscany and continues to do so today, despite the various challenges to an early-ripening variety facing climate change. The 2020 vintage remains rich and opulent, even heavy on the mid-palate, with lots of thick fruit layering and soft tannins. It ends with sweet fruit and barbecue spice.

98 /100

Dark, bright ruby red. Inviting nose, fresh blackberries, oak, light notes of honey, elegant notes of stone, beautiful and aromatic dried flower petals, a lovely savoury quality. On the palate, bright fruit, juicy, elegant, polished, wonderfully balanced, smooth, complex, with fantastic salty notes in the aftertaste.

About the grape

Merlot

Merlot er en af verdens mest populære rødvinsdruer og den næstmest plantede røde sort globalt — kun overgået af Cabernet Sauvignon. Druen stammer fra Bordeaux, hvor den især dominerer på Right Bank i appellationer som Pomerol og Saint‑Émilion, hvor dens bløde struktur og rige frugt gør den til en naturlig modpol til Cabernet Sauvignon.

Merlot kendes for sin runde, saftige frugtprofil, med noter af blomme, sorte kirsebær, brombær og undertiden chokolade eller vanilje, afhængigt af klima og fadlagring. I køligere klimaer viser Merlot friskere røde frugter og lettere urtepræg, mens varmere områder som Napa Valley giver mere fyldige vine med blødere tanniner og mørkere frugt.

Druen er elsket for sin velvet‑agtige, bløde mundfølelse, moderate syre og tilgængelige stil, hvilket gør den ideel både alene og i blends — især sammen med Cabernet Sauvignon, hvor den tilføjer rundhed og balance.

Merlot er samtidig kernen i nogle af verdens mest eftertragtede vine, herunder legendariske Pomerol-vine som Château Pétrus.

Serving

Server ved 15–20°C i store glas, så frugt og aroma får plads.
