2017 Castello di Ama L’Apparita was the wine that I pulled for the evening. Italian Merlot. Ama is an old, fortified village situated near Radda and Gaiole in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. On the nose, intense dark berries. A full bodied wine with layers of beautiful ripe fruit. Perfect balance. Stellar finish. Stunning. — 2 years ago

Great expression of Radda
Super young, but the tannin is so good you can already approach it with enjoyment
The freshness helps it going down

Old school Chianti from Radda, this is like hopping into a Tuscan time machine. — 7 years ago

Continues to be an excellent value Chianti Classico from Radda. High toned, great fruit / acid / earth balance. Excellent with food off the grill with a bit of a chill. — 2 years ago

N: Cherries, that you know you’re in Tuscany now w Radda lightness. Iron and bit o’ funk. Barnyard but very light.
P: Beautiful Cherries, iron, cinnamon, spice, great acidity. A great food wine.

In the village of Radda, Italy today, one of the many Chianti towns. This one is small so not a lot of restaurant options. €18 on the restaurant wine list. — 6 years ago

Me and my wife just polished off our last bottle from a case of these. One of the best value Chianti’s on the market. Picked up for $8.99/each at Costco a few months ago. This is an austere offering from high elevation vineyards in Radda in Chianti. Beautiful floral nose with bright cherry, plum skin and Tuscan soil. Elegant and refined for the price point. Shines with at least 30 min decant and pairs great with pizza or pasta with red sauce. — 5 years ago

Hailing from Radda in Chianti this beautiful 100% Sangiovese is grown at pretty high altitude (about 1470 ft) and is facing the most famous Pergole Torte vineyard. The wine shows a ruby red core with clear rim. The nose is seducing with ripe raspberry, cherry, violet and crushed flowers. As it opens it shows more of mineral spine and spices and a touch of smoke. In the mouth it is medium plus body with good acidity and medium tannins. I really liked it and am curious to see how it will evolve. — 5 years ago

Not hugely complex, but heavily characterised by the irony component of the terra rossa from Coonawarra. Funny enough it reminded me of an old Chianti from Radda without the racy acidity those wines sometimes bring out — 7 years ago
