Castello di Ama, the leading Chianti estate, is so full of works of art that when you arrive there’s a high risk of tripping over. ‘Le Chemin du Bonheur,’ the work of Pascale Marthine Tayou, lines the ancient stone street of Ama, enlivening the 18th century hamlet with colour. The contemporary art on the hill overlooking the estate is a tribute to what owners Lorenza Sebasti and Marco Pallanti call in latin “genius loci”: a spirit-like sense of place. On 10 December at the Four Seasons Hotel in Florence, genius loci was celebrated in a vertical tasting of L’Apparita, the 100% Merlot wine made in heart of Chianti Classico for which the estate became known. Ama had a ‘Judgement of Paris’ moment on 8 February 1992 when the L’Apparita 1987 vintage beat Pétrus 1988, Le Pin and 16 other world-class Merlot wines at a tasting hosted by the Académie du Vin in Switzerland, with a jury comprised of renowned winemaking consultant Michel Rolland.

Few winemakers have been as influential, controversial, and compelling as Didier Dagueneau. A legend in his own time– and elevated to near demi-god status since his untimely death in 2008 –Dagueneau continues to profoundly inspire wine lovers and winemakers alike. The goal is to show the greatest respect to the life and soul of the terroir: plowing by horse, employing twice the usual number of vineyard workers, and applying the most minimal copper sulfate possible. But Dagueneau is no luddite, however traditional some of his practices may be: networked weather stations are placed throughout the vineyards and temperature control in the winery is employed and closely monitored. In the end, the goal is to produce wines that awe the nose and palate with their purity, complexity, energy, and almost miraculous expression of Pouilly’s slate-argile terroir. We can offer you a nice selection of the wines of Dagueneau!
