An 80% Sangiovese, 13% Merlot, 7% Malvasia Nera blend drawn from four of Castello di Ama's historic vineyard selections (Bellavista, Casuccia, San Lorenzo, and Montebuoni), showing red cherry, strawberry, licorice, and orange zest with a silky, succulent palate and firm, fresh tannins.
Unlike a true single-vineyard wine, San Lorenzo is a cuvée blended across four of the estate's named historic parcels — the inclusion of a small Merlot component (13%) alongside Malvasia Nera is what separates its structure and fruit profile from the Sangiovese/Malvasia-only Vigneto Bellavista bottling from the same producer.
Roast duck breast
The wine's fresh acidity and silky, firm tannins balance the richness of duck fat, while its red-fruit profile complements the meat's savory depth.
Grilled lamb chops with rosemary
Sangiovese-based blends with herbal, earthy undertones classically match rosemary-forward grilled lamb in Tuscan cuisine.
Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Elegant Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Merlot & Malvasia Nera with ripe fruit, spice & earthy complexity.
Castello Di Ama's San Lorenzo Gran Selezione represents the pinnacle of Chianti Classico craftsmanship. This 80% Sangiovese-led blend, enriched with Merlot and Malvasia Nera, delivers a harmonious expression of Tuscan terroir with medium-full body and refined tannin structure.
Ripe red cherry and plum dominate the palate, supported by herbaceous notes and warming spice, while earthy undertones and subtle leather suggest careful aging potential. A food-friendly yet sophisticated wine suited to both celebratory occasions and serious gastronomy.
