History
Castello di Ama, located in Gaiole in Chianti, is one of the most respected wineries in Chianti Classico; founded in the 1970s by four families, it has built its reputation under Marco Pallanti and Lorenza Sebasti for sustainability, the valorization of historic vineyards, and careful vineyard practices. The “Ama” cuvée was introduced in 2010 to distinguish more generous young‑vine expressions from the estate’s top‑tier labels, allowing a more accessible Sangiovese that still expresses terroir. Ama is made from sustainably farmed vineyards (Equalitas certification) with selective clonal material.
