Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004, Castello di Ama
The Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 from Castello di Ama represents the pinnacle of voluptuousness and elegance in Gaiole in Chianti. Unlike the "Bellavista," which is more austere and mineral-driven, La Casuccia is made from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, giving the wine a sumptuous roundness and a tannic texture of unmatched silkiness. The 2004 vintage, classic for its balance and freshness, allowed this cru to develop dizzying aromatic complexity. On the nose, it is a symphony of noble tertiary notes: ripe plum, blond tobacco, and bitter cocoa merge with deep undertones of undergrowth, leather, and a subtle balsamic trace of eucalyptus. On the palate, it is sumptuous and enveloping; the entry is soft, characterized by an imposing volume yet balanced by a lively freshness that sustains the interminable finish, salty and of rare floral elegance.
