Castello di Ama, a top producer of Chianti Classico, make a splendid range of wines from this one, to their Chianti Classico Riserva to their Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. This 2013 is a traditionally framed Chianti Classico that conveys a mixture of dark slightly bitter cherries and a savory earthiness. Not an opulent ripe wine, it has the restraint and firmness that makes it a perfect match for grilled meat or a rich pasta dish.
