Ama is indisputably one of Tuscany's most exciting growers. For Galloni there are "few estates in Italy at this level", whilst for the Wine Advocate's Monica Larner, Ama remains "a reference-point producer in Tuscany".

Haiku, the hidden gem of the range, is all poetry as the name might suggest. A blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, this is simply a gorgeous wine that has incredible richness and intensity of fruit, yet there is a sense of lift and lightness at play here too.

The estate uses words like "honesty" and "simplicity", although don't let that fool you into thinking this isn't capable of taking on the most hallowed of SuperTuscans, as reflected in Galloni's joint-best-ever 96 point review.

What the critics say:

96/100Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2020 Haiku, the etate’s Sangiovese/Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend , is once again impressive. Dark, explosive and layered, the 2020 delivers the goods. It’s a wine that offers a mix of regional character with an international flair. One of the more expressive wines in the range, Haiku shows the more exuberant side of the year off in spades. Time in the glass releases the Franc aromatics very nicely."

OUR GROWERS

Castello di Ama

Castello di Ama's origins trace back to Etruscan times, a testament to the enduring connection between this land and human creativity. Ama was owned by the Firidolfi family during the Holy Roman Empire. The medieval castle that once graced these grounds fell during the Aragonese invasions in the 15th century. In the early 1700s, new villas rose from the same stones, marking the birth of the Castello di Ama estate.
