 â€œWhen I offer a taste of my wine, I would like to show in the glass the soil, the grapes and the land that it expresses.”  Marco Pallanti, winemaker at Castello di Ama

Beginning in 1978, certain parcels were identified as possessing outstanding soil and microclimates due to extensive research into the terroir of the Castello di Ama vineyards. Vigneto La Casuccia, whose first vintage was 1985, was the first blend produced from the separate harvesting of three parcels of Sangiovese and Merlot. The wine is produced in exceedingly limited quantities and only in the best vintages. Vigneto La Casuccia is an impactful wine. In many vintages, it emerges energetic, balanced, sensual and vivacious, requiring time to fully express its full potential.

Just arrived and very limited, this expression is the essence of Tuscany in a bottle.
