Castello di Ama - Chianti Classico San Lorenzo 2018

"A truly Mediterranean spirit boasting an all-Italian identity according to the Wine Advocate!"

"The Castello di Ama 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is one of the most distinctive wines in the vast portfolio offered by this estate. I always seem to find a balsamic note in the San Lorenzo Sangiovese (a blend of some of the estate's finest fruit, with a touch of Merlot and Malvasia Nera), and it comes through clearly in this vintage with toasty rosemary and even a touch of black olive. This wine is truly Mediterranean in spirit, and boasts an entirely Italian identity. Its supple, medium-weight texture is amplified by elegant fruit and spice. Its fresh acidity makes it the ideal partner for your favorite Tuscan pasta or pici recipes. 2023-2038" (Wine Advocate 2021)

Il Palagio - Chianti When We Dance 2022

4.5/5 (2 reviews)

"A delicious, accessible Chianti from Sting that will have your palate dancing!

"The Tenuta Il Palagio 2022 Chianti When We Dance (made from certified organic sangiovese and a tiny portion of canaiolo and colorino) is lively and punchy, with candied cherry and redcurrant aromas that come out of the glass nicely. No barrel aging is used. The easy Sangiovese character is perfect for gnocchi in a creamy cheese sauce. The finish is quite lean but fresh, with dry, mineral notes on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2024)
