Everything about Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia is methodical and precise. Starting in 1978, the estate cultivated select parcels for their extraordinary microclimates and soils. In 1985, it produced the first vintage of La Casuccia. It combined the three best parcels of sangiovese and merlot to create the finest wine possible. Today, Castello di Ama only releases La Casuccia if the harvest meets its rigorous standards. For those about to try 2018 La Casuccia, seatbelts are recommended. The red blend delivers intensity upon impact. The expansive nose envelops the senses with ripe red fruits, violets, rose petals, baking spice, and crushed rocks, while polished tannins frame the creamy body. Soft curves lead into a tannic finish that hints at La Casuccia’s promising aging potential. The Final Sip: Brace for impact. The 2018 La Casuccia represents Castello di Ama at its most explosive and intense.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is fabulous. A heady, opulent wine, the 2018 possesses tremendous energy to match its explosive personality. The plush fruit and soft, silky curves are pure Casuccia. The 2018 needs at least a handful of years in bottle, as it is a wine that only truly blossoms with time.
