79. Castello di Ama & the High Altitude Tuscan Elegance Wine Ghosts
-
- Food
The Castello di Ama wine ghosts are some of the most elegant bottlings of Tuscany, thanks to their location in one of the highest parts of Chianti Classico. The estate was leading the way in the creation of the ‘Gran Selezione’ and in the single vineyard wines in the area. Oh, and they were also the first ones to bottle single-varietal Merlot in the region! You could also hear Lars Granat Jensen, the CEO of Rare Wine Invest, praising the estate in our last episode, which might leave you with an extra incentive to look into the Castello di Ama wines more intensely.

11:52 - Gran Selezione

23:23 - Warming Climate & New Varieties?!
26:54 - Single Vineyards Characters
31:35 - Elevage
35:30 - Who is the typical Castello di Ama drinker?
