I have been lucky to have had many fabulous tastings at Castello di Ama over the years, but this was one of the most remarkable. L’Apparita, a 100% Merlot from high-altitude vineyards in Gaiole, gets less attention than some of its peers, but it is right up there with the very finest wines, not just of Italy, but of the world.
