Proprietor Marco Pallanti describes 2005 as a year in which late season rains caused all sorts of issues. Ama did not bottle their flagship Chianti Classicos Bellavista and La Casuccia. The two wines that were made show what was possible with a total obsession with quality.

Castello di Ama only has two new wines this year. The estate decided against producing its top Chianti Classico selections, Vigneto Bellavista and Vigneto La Casuccia in the difficult 2005 vintage. The Merlot L'Apparita was produced but proprietors Marco Pallanti and Lorenza Sebasti Pallanti decided the wine needed further bottle age before it was ready to be evaluated.
