Made with a selection of the best estate Sangiovese (with a hint of Merlot and Malvasia Nera) from across various parcels, the Castello di Ama 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is chiseled and dark with a through-line of dark mineral and crushed rock. That dry mineral note forms a precise frame around dark fruit and oak spice. The wine has drying tannins and a long, polished finish.

About this wine
Castello di Ama's San Lorenzo is a distinguished Chianti Classico DOCG that exemplifies the elegance and complexity of Tuscany's most renowned wine region. Produced from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, this red wine captures the character of the Ama estate's prime vineyard parcels, with their unique mineral-rich soils and ideal exposure to the Tuscan sun.
This medium-bodied red presents a refined balance of dark fruit intensity and mineral minerality, with subtle spice notes that reflect both the grape variety and the region's terroir. At 13.5% alcohol, San Lorenzo maintains the sophistication and structure expected from serious Chianti Classico producers, making it versatile at the table. The wine pairs beautifully with traditional Tuscan cuisine, aged cheeses, grilled meats, and pasta dishes with robust sauces.
Castello di Ama stands as a benchmark producer within the Chianti Classico DOCG appellation, combining centuries of winemaking heritage with modern viticultural precision. San Lorenzo represents the estate's commitment to producing wines of genuine character and aging potential, ideal for wine collectors and those seeking an authentic expression of Tuscan Sangiovese.
