Castello di Ama Haiku 2022

This is a 50-25-25 blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that represents the modern and creative side of the estate portfolio. The Castello di Ama 2022 Haiku reveals concentration, a deep color and pretty complexity, as you are able to identify little elements of each of the three grapes used. It shows seamless integration and good intensity. The name Haiku is inspired by Japanese verse and represents three elements (or three grapes) that work together in harmony. It is the so-called “alter ego” wine that plays a role across from the estate’s classical Sangiovese-based wines. Drink date: 2025-2040 [and perhaps a decade longer given the bottle size].
