Castello di Ama describes Montebuoni as one of its most honest expressions of Sangiovese elegance. This is a serious yet beautifully accessible Tuscan Riserva, made predominantly from Sangiovese with a small touch of Merlot, showing ripe black cherry, blackberry, plum, raspberry, rose, leather, tobacco, grilled herbs and mineral notes; the palate is medium-bodied but concentrated, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity and a long savoury finish — excellent with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, grilled pork, mushroom ragù, tomato-based pasta, aged pecorino and truffle dishes.
"First released in 2018, this wine draws its fruit from a site about one kilometer over from the celebrated Vigneto Bellavista with similar conditions. The Castello di Ama 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Montebuoni is a broad and rich expression of Sangiovese that offers concentrated blackberry, plum and velvety tannins. The wine shows attractive accessibility and a generous mid-weight mouthfeel."
