First of the 8 Castello di Ama chiantis served at the CdA dinner in NYC; one of my 3 favorites as well - well rounded, no excess acidity or tannins — 16 days ago
This is the La Casuccia CdA which wasn’t in the Delectable lineup - my third favorite of the CdA dinner - see the Montebuoni and Bellavista notes. Note that we also tasted the ‘07 La Casuccia but didn’t love it - actually seemed to have some funk to it — 15 days ago
Paid €45 for the bottle at Osteria Del Pavone. Marco was the wine captain and his recommendation was excellent! It was a delightful Chianti - rich and full!  we would get it again. Price was reasonable for a Restaurant.  — 3 months ago

Considered the star of the CdA lineup, and similar to their chiantis which all have some Merlot blended in, but this was too much Merlot for me - had that plasticity I don’t love — 15 days ago
Second Chianti at the CdA dinner, and the most aged, but I didn’t love it - overly tannic, too much edge on it — 15 days ago
On enchanted princess in the Caribbean. Very nice ama tone. Cherries and smooth — 6 months ago
