Details
De San Lorenzo wijngaard is 35,42 hectare groot en de San Lorenzo Chianti Classico wordt enkel in de allerbeste jaren gemaakt. Na de alcoholische fermentatie wordt de jonge wijn overgestoken op RVS voor de malolactische gisting, waarna de wijn wordt geassembleerd en voor 12 maanden rijpt op eikenhouten barriques, waarvan 20% nieuw. De wijn is diep donker robijnrood van kleur. In de neus aroma’s van bosbessen, aardbeien, irissen en tabak In het smaakpalet tonen van rijp klein roodzwart fruit, laurier en iets van bosgrond en wilde munt, die gepaard gaan met een lange romige afdronk met evenwichtige tannine en elegante zuren.
Critici over deze wijn
Robert Parker review
2015: The 2015 Castello di Ama San Lorenzo represents a blend of some of the estate's best Sangiovese from vines that are 20 years old and more. You do feel that extra density, intensity and complexity within the very fiber of this beautiful wine. The effect is deep and layered. Castello di Ama is characterized by limestone clay soils mixed with both galestro and alberese marl stones. There is about 60 centimeters of topsoil and compacted clay below that.
Wine Spectator
2015: An elegant version, satured with black cherry, blackberry, graphite and tea flavors, this red delivers a solid backbone of tannins and bright acidity. Finished on the tannic side.
Antonio Galloni
2015: A bold, racy wine, the 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo captures all the exuberance of the year while retaining a good bit of structure. Like all the Ama wines, the San Lorenzo packs a serious punch in its dark flavors and intense, muscular feel. The San Lorenzo is essentially a second selection of lots from the dual flagship Gran Seleziones La Casuccia and Bellavista. Lavender, spice and menthol add the closing shades of nuance. The blend is 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot and Malvasia Nera. More importantly, the San Lorenzo is another very serious wine in this range.
Perswijn
80% sangiovese, 13% merlot, 7% malvasia nera. Kersen en bloemen; zacht, sappig, fijne zuren en lichte tannine, elegant, fijn, lichter jaar.
Decanter
2015: Produced from the oldest vines on 19ha, on calcareous soil rich in shale. The different grape varieties are blended after malolactic fermentation and aged together in barriques, of which 18% are new. Fresh and primary, with nuanced os sous bois and blackberry, along with wood spice underneath. Shows structure and stuffing for a decade or more in the cellar.
