Castello di Ama San Lorenzo 2018 – Exclusive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with elegance, intensity, and great aging potential

Castello di Ama San Lorenzo 2018 is an exclusive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG from Tuscany, Italy. The wine is a classic expression of Castello di Ama's style and is made from 80% Sangiovese, 13% Merlot, and 7% Malvasia Nera from some of the estate's best historic vineyards: Bellavista, Casuccia, San Lorenzo, and Montebuoni.

The 2018 vintage offers a refined and complex style with notes of dark cherries, balsamic nuances, rosemary, black olives, licorice, chocolate, and spices. The taste is silky smooth and juicy with elegant fruit, fresh acidity, and a beautiful, polished structure, making the wine both charming now and suitable for further aging.

Castello di Ama itself describes San Lorenzo as a wine characterized by finesse, elegance, intensity, length, and freshness, and the 2018 vintage has 13.5% alcohol. Technical information from the producer's importer archives also shows that the wine is aged for 14 months in oak, which contributes to its depth, balance, and complexity.

This exclusive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, pasta with ragu, and aged cheeses. Castello di Ama San Lorenzo 2018 is an obvious choice for the wine lover seeking a grand Tuscan wine experience with both character, elegance, and collector potential. The bottle is supplied in 75 cl.

93 /100

It has a vivid ruby color, with a slight purple shimmer. There is an inviting nose with lovely notes of ripe wild raspberry, as well as some smoke and clove aromas in the background. On the palate there are fine well-placed tannins, and it unfolds nicely, with lots of juicy fruit, and good drive on the finish.

Falstaff

95 /100

Smooth and delicious, this compelling red offers delicately enticing scents of dark-skinned fruit, pressed rose, violet and cedar. Boasting layers of flavor, the smooth palate is all about finesse, delivering ripe plum, spiced berries, licorice and crushed mint before a mocha close. Velvety tannins and fresh acidity provide seamless support and balance. Drink 2023–2033. Kerin O’Keefe

Wine Enthusiast

94 /100

The Castello di Ama 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is one of the most distinctive wines in the ample portfolio offered by this estate. I always seem to find a balsamic note in the San Lorenzo Sangiovese (a blend of some of the property's best fruit, with a touch of Merlot and Malvasia Nera thrown in), and it definitely comes through in this vintage with grilled rosemary and even a touch of black olive. This wine is truly Mediterranean in spirit and it boasts an all-Italian identity. Its supple, mid-weight texture is amplified by elegant fruit and spice. And the wine's fresh acidity makes it the ideal pairing partner with your favorite Tuscan pasta or pici recipes.

About the grape

Chianti Blend

Chianti Blend er den klassiske toscanske druesammensætning, som gennem århundreder har defineret rødvinene fra Chianti‑området. Blendet er centreret omkring Sangiovese, der udgør mindst 70 % i Chianti DOCG, 75 % i Chianti Colli Senesi og 80 % i Chianti Classico. Resten af blendet udgøres traditionelt af lokale sorter som Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo og Mammolo, som tilføjer farve, blødhed og aromatisk finesse.

I moderne tid er blendet blevet udvidet, idet op til 15 % Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc eller Merlot er tilladt i Chianti. Det tilfører dybere farve, mørkere frugt og større struktur – en ændring, der skabte debat blandt purister, men som i praksis har løftet kvaliteten og skabt moderne, kraftigere stilarter.

Chianti Blend udvikler vine med levende rød frugt, florale noter, tørrede urter og bitterkirsebær samt Chiantis karakteristiske høje syre og faste tanninstruktur. Dette gør vinen exceptionelt madvenlig og i stand til at spejle både regionens terroir og dens historiske udvikling – fra klassisk rustik Chianti til de mere moderne og fyldige fortolkninger.

Serving

Server ved 16–18°C i et Chianti‑ eller universalrødvinsglas for at fremhæve vinens aromatiske lift og syre.
