Winemaker Marco Pallanti has farmed this estate in Chianti Classico since 1982, and he knows its vineyards well, producing acclaimed single-vineyard wines with the help of wife and co-owner Lorenza. San Lorenzo is a small valley, with 50 acres of vines planted in a mix of limestone and clay at an elevation of 1,650 feet. The 2010 is 80 percent Sangiovese, with Malvasia Nera and Merlot. A racy, vibrant red that shows the elegance of the site, it is the top-scoring Chianti Classico tasted this year.
“The 2014 Chianti Classico Ama offers lovely fruit intensity, with plenty of bright red cherry, plum, spice, rose petal and mint flavors. This is a decidedly lithe, translucent wine for Ama, yet all the elements are well balanced throughout. A final burst of acidity lends energy to the finish. Drink this silky, mid-weight Chianti Classico over the next few years.” – Antonio Galloni, October, 2016
