Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2006

The 2006 Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia (Sangiovese, Merlot) reveals stunning clarity and freshness in its black cherries, violets, minerals and sweet spices. This dense, richly-textured wine possesses staggering richness and elegance along with breathtaking clarity and precision. Notes of leather, smoke, tar and licorice linger on the long, intense finish. Drinking window: 2013-2026. Score – 96. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Aug. 2009)
