Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia 2020 – Exclusive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with depth, elegance, and great aging potential

Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia 2020 is an exclusive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG from Tuscany, Italy. The wine comes from the renowned single vineyard La Casuccia at Castello di Ama and is made from Sangiovese and Merlot, with the 2020 vintage typically stated as 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot. This combination results in a wine with classic Chianti freshness, dark fruit, and extra depth.

In the glass, the 2020 vintage appears dark, concentrated, and elegant with aromas of ripe blackberries, baked plum, sweet earth, black rose, and spicy nuances. The taste is full-bodied and powerful with rich, ripe, and well-balanced tannins, while the finish is long, delicate, and persistent. Several descriptions of the vintage also highlight the wine's fine balance between power, structure, and accessibility.

The wine is aged for 14 months in barrique, of which approximately 40% are new, fine-grained barrels, while the rest matures in used barrels. This contributes to complexity, structure, and excellent development potential without overpowering the fruit. Castello di Ama describes La Casuccia as an energetic, balanced, and sensual wine that requires time to unfold its full potential.

This exclusive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia 2020 is an obvious choice for the wine lover seeking a grand Tuscan wine experience with finesse, character, and collector's potential. The product is delivered in 75 cl.

95 /100

The Castello di Ama 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto la Casuccia is a single-vineyard expression of Sangiovese. The wine is dark and concentrated in this vintage with lovely tones of ripe blackberry, baked plum, sweet earth and black rose. It has all the classic aromas of the variety, only in this case they are delivered with extra heft and push thanks to the warm and sunny growing season. This vintage remains slightly more accessible overall.

Robert Parker wine advocate

96 /100

Dark, noble ruby red colour with a subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose nuances of dark bread crust, butter cookies, delicate nuances of vanilla, then ripe dark berries, noble wood. On the palate punchy, very juicy, with cool fruit and tight tannins, deep, long, again juicy and fresh on the finish.

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.
