Castello di Ama Vigneto La Casuccia 2013 is a distinguished representation of Chianti Classico’s excellence, originating from one of the region’s pioneering single vineyard selections. Planted in the 1970s and cultivated at a notable high altitude, La Casuccia’s unique terroir contributes to the creation of wines with remarkable structure, depth, and aging potential. This exceptional vintage reflects Castello di Ama’s visionary approach, melding historic tradition with precise modern winemaking techniques to produce a wine of extraordinary finesse and complexity.

Hailing from a premium private cellar, the 2013 La Casuccia captures the essence of an estate that has significantly elevated Chianti Classico’s international reputation. The high elevation vineyards slow grape maturation, preserving vibrant acidity and layering complex aromatic profiles. This wine reveals a captivating balance between polished tannins and lively fruit character, featuring vivid cherry and ripe berry notes complemented by subtle earthy undertones.

Known for its crisp structure and refined elegance, the 2013 vintage stands out for its ability to evolve gracefully over time, making it a highly sought-after selection for collectors and enthusiasts. Each sip exemplifies Castello di Ama’s dedication to terroir-driven winemaking, showcasing a wine that honors tradition while embracing innovation. The Vigneto La Casuccia bottling remains a benchmark in the Chianti Classico region, symbolizing both heritage and a forward-looking spirit.

This wine offers a layered, complex tasting journey with a rich bouquet that unfolds in the glass, promising continued development and rewarding maturation well beyond the present. As one of the original single vineyard expressions in Chianti Classico, La Casuccia illustrates the region’s capacity to produce serious, long-lived wines that rival Italy’s finest.

Reviews

Bright, intense ruby with a slight purple tinge. Very concentrated, compact nose, initially with capers and dark olive paste, then lots of plum and blackberry; profound. Shows very great interplay on the palate, clear and polished. Opens with lots of juicy fruit, then dense tannin with a gentle core. Very long finish; a great wine!
This vibrant stunning red is loaded with finesse. It opens with intense aromas of pipe tobacco, cassis, wild berry and a whiff of new leather while the focused palate delivers succulent red cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and exotic spice. It's still tight, with firm, polished tannins and bright acidity that give it impeccable balance as well as a seriously age-worthy structure. Drink 2023–2043. Kerin O’Keefe
