95% Sangiovese & 5% Merlot
"Direct descendant of “Castello di Ama Riserva”, with this wine we have returned to produce a Chianti Classico Riserva. “Castello di Ama Montebuoni” was born – with 2018 vintage – with the aim of having a wine that can have the depth of the austere “San Lorenzo” combined with the drinkability of the young “Ama”.
Fruity and persuasive in the aromas, it reveals the quality with which it is made to the taste. For us, “Castello di Ama Montebuoni” is the most honest representation of the elegance of Sangiovese in our terroir." - WINERY NOTES
WINE ENTHUSIAST 95 POINTS - "Delicious and elegantly structured, this opens with alluring aromas of fragrant blue flower, black-skinned fruit, eucalyptus and espresso. On the savory, focused palate, bright acidity and lithe, fine-grained tannins accompany juicy black cherry, mocha, licorice and crushed mint. Drink through 2028."
WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "Here's an exciting discovery from Castello di Ama. An inaugural vintage, the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Montebuoni sources its fruit from a vineyard site planted next to the celebrated Bellavista parcel in 1997. Showing a classic Tuscan spirt that is playful and mischievous, this wine is beautiful and bright with loads of ripe and soft fruit flavors, spanning from cherry to plum and violets to potting soil. The wine is medium-bodied and lean, but it shows enough intensity and freshness to make a really nice and lasting impact on the palate. I can recommend a solid 10-year drinking window for this cheerful bottle."
