This is a stunning set of wines from Castello di Ama. After deciding not to bottle their top selections in 2012, proprietors Marco and Lorenza Pallanti are back big time with a fabulous set of 2013 reds. It's hard to know where to start, as there are a number of wines that merit serious attention. The 100% Merlot L'Apparita is sublime. As always, the Casuccia is the more refined of the estate's top two Chianti Classicos, while the Bellavista, which is done with 15% Malvasia Nera, is the most structured and tannic of the wines. Readers who can find the 2013s should not hesitate, as they are sublime.
