Deep ruby red with purple nuances. Fruit-forward. aromas of blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and currant. A well balanced, refined and harmonic palate with long-lasting aromatic profile. A pure expression of elegance.

95 Points - James Suckling
Very subtle aromas of dark berries, licorice and violets. Really floral and bright. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that integrate beautifully into the wine. Such a lovely and sophisticated mouth-feel to this. Drinkable already, but better in two or three years.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a new wine with the inaugural 2018 vintage introduced last year. The Castello di Ama 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Montebuoni draws its fruit from a vineyard site that sits parallel to Vigneto Bellavista about one kilometer over and enjoys similar exposures. The estate felt that it needed to fill a gap in the portfolio between the entry-level wines and the top-shelf Gran Selezioni. That's where the Riserva Montebuoni comes in. This 15-hectare site was purchased by Marco Pallanti in 1997, and a lot of work went into moving earth and preparing the poor, clay-based terrain for planting. These results show beautifully concentrated fruit over a medium to full-bodied approach with lingering smoke, blackberry and sweet tobacco.
92 Points - Decanter
The second vintage of this single-vineyard Riserva, Montebuoni is sourced from vines at least 20 years old. It provides a logical progression from Ama’s annata, made from younger vines. As with the annata, ageing is in second-use French oak barriques. A sweet herbal mix of fennel and tarragon mingles with strawberry and rhubarb. Hints of vanilla permeate throughout. Smooth and polished, it glides across the palate. Lightly powdered tannins are quite delicate and well-integrated. Mouthwatering and cheerful, with a cranberry tang.
91 Points - Wine Spectator
Rich, boasting cherry, plum, earth, leather and sanguine notes. Firm, yet the fruit holds its own through the lively, persistent finish. Fine balance and energy overall. Sangiovese and Merlot.
