CASTELLO DI AMA ROSATO IGT TOSCANA 2014 750ml

ABOUT THE WINE

Castello di Ama is an ancient estate located in the hills of Chianti, in Tuscany, Italy. It is situated near the town of Gaiole in Chianti, in the province of Siena. The castle is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and olive groves and is renowned for the production of high-quality wines. Castello di Ama is known for its production of Chianti Classico, a traditional red wine from the Chianti region. The estate spans over 250 hectares, with approximately 90 hectares dedicated to vineyards.
Castello di Ama has been producing Rosato since 1982. This wine comes from the best vats of Sangiovese and Merlot through a drain (saignee) carried out for almost 12 hours with skin contact. For many years, we have been fermenting the extracted must in small stainless steel tanks, but three years ago, we started an experiment to ferment the must just extracted in second-passage barriques. In order to make the market aware of this change, we have decided to change our traditional label and to give a name to the wine. This is how Purple Rose was born.

TASTING NOTE:
