1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vigna L'Apparita" Merlot Toscana IGT 2011 in gift box

Elegant Merlot from high altitude vineyards, whose further development in the bottle always fascinates. Very inviting bouquet, ripe berry note, elderberry and coffee. Extremely fine and structured on the palate, dense, polished tannins, finishes very long and relaxed. SUPERIORE.DE

"Compared to 2010, the 2011 L'Apparita (100% Merlot) is a completely different wine. It is impossible to imagine how Castello di Ama could improve on the absolutely divine and delicious 2010, but I liked the 2011 even better. Again, I just have a feeling that this winery, with its vineyards perched at over 500 metres, does best with warm vintages like this. Those who love Castello di Ama wines will have to wait for the 2013 vintage. This is a beautiful wine that sings with a loud and graceful voice. The cherry-like softness of the Merlot has been brought back to a perfect point. The wine offers layers of richness and suppleness. The effect is layered, complex and utterly captivating. This is an outstanding wine." Wine Advocate

"A deep and beautiful red with the character of ripe berries, plums and orange peel. Almost exotic in style. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a caressing texture. Lasts for minutes. So nice now, but 2018 will be even better. The best L'Apparita ever?" James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vigneto La Casuccia" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2011 in gift box

Chianti Classico La Casuccia from the single vineyard of the same name with Gran Selezione status combines in its typical way exemplary excellent structure with the highest elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is opulent and lush with thick lines of dark fruits and spices characterising the bouquet. This wine is not only bold and powerful, but also offers excellent complexity with layers of black truffle, grilled herbs and cherry cola giving it vertical lift." Wine Advocate

"A wine of pure femininity and grace, the 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is wonderfully fleshy and radiant in the glass. Rose petals, sweet red cherries, tobacco, mint and spices meld together as this effortlessly smooth wine demonstrates its undeniably appealing personality. Sweet, silky tannins wrap around a very expressive finish laced with stunning flavours. The 2011 is firing on all cylinders today. VINOUS

"Amazing aromas of crushed dark fruits with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Also dried flowers and violets, plus tanned leather. Full body, ultra-fine yet dense tannins and a finish that lasts minutes. Stunning texture. One of the best Chianti Classicos ever made." James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vigneto Bellavista" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2011 in gift box

The 2011 edition of the Gran Selezione from the Bellavista single vineyard is rich and dark with aromas of wild cherry, smoke, liquorice, menthol and tobacco. Extremely attractive and rich on the palate, firm tannins form the backbone of this virile, potent wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista opens with dark concentration, bold intensity and an immediate delivery of ripe fruit flavours. Stylistically, this Grand Selezione is extracted from a single vineyard, muscular and extremely fruit-driven. The heat of the 2011 vintage comes through loud and clear. Pleasingly, the mouthfeel is tighter and more focused with dusty minerality on the tannins and long persistence." Wine Advocate

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista from Ama shows the darker, brooding style of Ama's Sangiovese. Graphite, smoke, tar, liquorice, incense and cloves envelop a core of dark fruit. The 2011 is a wine with gravitas and vertical structure that will do well in the cellar for several decades. For the vintage, however, it is an unusually austere wine. harvestwill have to be patient to experience Bellavista at its best. Still, I can't help but notice how much the 2011 has grown in bottle over the past year. VINOUS
