The wine L'Apparita originates from the pure use of a red grape variety that in Tuscany is capable of creating wines of great fame, Merlot. The vines of this variety are cultivated by Castello di Ama on vineyards planted in 1985 at the summit of the “Bellavista” vineyard, at an altitude of about 490 meters abovesea level. The grapes, once harvested during the harvest, ferment in steel, macerating on the skins for 4 weeks, undergoing malolactic fermentation in barrique. Also in barrique, of first passage, the first part of the aging takes place, lasting 24 months, while after bottling the wine remains to mature for another two years directly in glass.

The bouquet of aromas that announces itself to the nose highlights floral and fruity aromas, enriched by more spicy touches. On the palate, it has an excellent structure, broad, enveloping, and velvety, with a sip of great intensity, which relies on a finely integrated tannic weave. A label that, vintage after vintage, announces itself as the flagship product of the entire range produced by Castello di Ama in Gaiole in Chianti, as confirmed by the excellent scores obtained from the main Italian and international reference guides.
