Castello di Ama Al Poggio Chardonnay 2025

Castello di Ama Al Poggio Chardonnay is an elegant Tuscan white that shows how beautifully Chardonnay can reflect a distinguished Italian terroir. Produced by one of Chianti Classico’s most respected estates, it balances freshness, texture, and subtle oak influence with impressive precision and length.

Tasting Notes
Pale, bright golden in the glass, this Chardonnay opens with a floral bouquet lifted by delicate summer-white blossoms and ripe stone fruit. The palate is fruit-forward yet focused, with notes of apricot, summer fruits, and a pronounced almond character, all supported by a clean mineral backbone. There is a direct, confident structure to the wine, with a fresh attack and excellent persistence on the finish. The combination of steel fermentation, barrel fermentation, and lees aging adds depth and a supple mouthfeel, while preserving the wine’s vivid energy. It can be enjoyed now for its brightness and nuance, but should also hold well over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from Tuscany IGT vineyards, this Chardonnay is crafted with a split vinification approach to capture both purity and complexity. About 60% of the must is cold-fermented in stainless steel, while the remaining portion is fermented and aged in barriques from Allier and Tronçais, with a brief skin maceration of around 12 hours for the wood-fermented fraction. The barrels are 50% new and 50% one-year-old, and the barrique-fermented part completes malolactic fermentation before spending roughly eight months on the lees with regular bâtonnage every seven days.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine well chilled, ideally at 10–12°C, to highlight its freshness and mineral drive. It pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, risotto, and vegetable dishes, as well as mild to medium-aged cheeses. Decanting is not necessary, though a short period in the glass will help раскрыve its aromatic detail and texture.

Producer
Castello di Ama was founded in 1976, when four families from Rome set out to restore a historic estate in the heart of Tuscany to its former reputation. Today it is regarded as one of the benchmark producers of the region, particularly for its refined expression of terroir-driven wines. The estate is widely admired for combining tradition, precision viticulture, and modern winemaking, and has earned a strong reputation both in Italy and internationally.
