Chianti Classico Gran Selezione “Casuccia” 2015 – Castello di Ama

The Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia 2015 is an exceptional Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that truly embodies the essence of the Tuscan terroir. This wine, a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot, is produced only in the best vintages and in very limited quantities.

The La Casuccia vineyard sits at an altitude of 470 to 495 meters and is divided into nine plots with limestone-rich clay soils — a key factor in the wine’s complexity and finesse.

The 2015 vintage shows a brilliant ruby-red color with radiant edges. The bouquet is fragrant and inviting, offering aromas of violets, fresh cherries, and pomegranate, lifted by delicate savory nuances. On the palate, it’s juicy yet focused, with layers of cherry and blackberry fruit, firm but well-integrated tannins, and a long, harmonious finish.

This wine pairs beautifully with Tuscan classics such as pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar ragù) or rosemary-roasted lamb. The earthy and aromatic elements in these dishes bring out the wine’s character and create a seamless pairing.

The ageing potential of this Casuccia 2015 is impressive: it can continue to evolve in bottle until at least 2040, gaining further depth and elegance as it matures.
