Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 MG, Castello di Ama
The Chianti Classico Vigneto La Casuccia 2004 from Castello di Ama, here in Magnum format, represents the pinnacle of elegance and voluptuousness from Gaiole in Chianti. Unlike the 'Bellavista', which is more austere and mineral, La Casuccia is made from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot that gives the wine a sumptuous roundness and a tannic texture of unmatched silkiness. The 2004 vintage, classic in its balance and freshness, allowed this cru to develop dizzying aromatic complexity. On the nose, it is a concert of noble tertiary aromas: notes of ripe plum, sweet tobacco, and cocoa blend with deep hints of undergrowth, leather, and a subtle balsamic trail of eucalyptus. On the palate, it is sumptuous and enveloping; the entry is soft, marked by an imposing volume yet balanced by a still vibrant freshness that supports the endless finish, savory and of rare floral elegance.
