Entry level Chianti from Castello di Ama. Bought 3 of these at the vineyard this past May. Light-Med bodied with hints of strawberry, apple, pomegranate and plumb. At around $30 USD a decent value, but pound for pound, other options abound.

A bit disappointing for the price. Simple and not very complex. Nose of cherry and a bit of spice. Palate is the same along with chalky tannins and little bit of oak influence. At half its MSRP I'd think it'd be relatively decent but at this price it's punching way below it's weight class.

Tart cherries and wild strawberry, sage, thyme, a bit peppery with mild oak. Great balance - juicy, rustic, elegant.

Solid ruby color. Cherry & raspberry scents. Balance of cherry and more acidic fruits in the flavor.

Joli nez très fruité, touche d’épices. Digeste, fruité,souple, peu tannique. Somme toute assez simple mais bien fait.
