Description
The 2001 Castello di Ama Vigneto Bellavista, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione hints of earthy spices, complemented by well-integrated tannins and a consistent acidity, resulting in a balanced finish. With age the wine becomes more elegant as tannins soften while earthy and savory flavors develop, adding to its complexity.
Pair it with rich dishes such as braised meats, aged cheeses, or hearty pasta sauces to complement its robust flavors.

Expert Reviews
The 2001 Chianti Classico Vigneto Bellavista is a huge, beautifully balanced wine. The Easter snow and very hot temperatures that year produced an opulent, super-ripe Bellavista with a distinct personality that stands apart from the rest of the wines in this tasting. Truffles, blackberry jam and camphor round out the sexy finish. It will be very interesting to see how the 2001 develops over the coming years. There is plenty of structure to support another decade or two of very fine drinking. 95+ (AG) Drinking window: 2016 - 2031 Tasting date: June 2012
