Castello di Ama, Vigneto La Casuccia Collection

Lorenza and Marco Pallanti of Castello di Ama have been crafting wines in Tuscany since the 1970s, centered around the hamlet of Ama, which sits at an elevation of 450-550 meters. Their wines are celebrated for their elegance and freshness, combined with natural intensity and depth. As Galloni observes, Castello di Ama has "crafted some of the most riveting wines in Tuscany... simply put, there are few estates in Italy at this level."

Pioneering in their approach, the Pallantis introduced temperature-controlled vats decades ago, enabling vinification by individual plots (a practice that many in Bordeaux have only recently adopted). 

Their Casuccia is 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot, from three individual plots singled out for their exceptional quality. The first vintage was in 1985 and it is only made in minuscule quantities when Ama think the quality is high enough – since the turn of the millennium, it has only been made 10 times.

“Castello di Ama remains a reference-point producer in Tuscany… Make no mistake about it, these are some the most pedigreed wines being made anywhere”.
