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

Decanted for about nine hours. Fresh raspberries, cherries, and a bit of mushrooms. Very elegant. Full-bodied, but not quite as powerful as other Barolos I’ve had over the years. — 9 months ago
Gorgeous fruit and softer tannins that firm up and need opening time, anise, tar, rose pedal, blood orange, — 4 years ago
Too young, however a good representation of a young blended Barolo. — 7 years ago

A really good Chianti. Couple with pasta, prosciutto and some bread it’s a good night. On a dollar for dollar basis, this one is hard to beat. — 5 years ago

Too young but insane potential...going to buy more. Love this wine and its depth and complexity. Paired well with venison. — 9 months ago
