Chianti Classico San Lorenzo Gran Selezione Castello di Ama 2022 (750ML)

95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One of three top-shelf expressions from Castello di Ama, the 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is mostly Sangiovese (up to 80%, with smaller parts Merlot and Malvasia Nera). It represents a selection of the best fruit sourced from across various plots. What stands out here is the excellent ripeness of the fruit, with blackcurrant and cherry. The wine reveals just a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg from the grape skins. It is balanced and level, tucked in at the right places and exuberant in others. You get good freshness and lasting elegance. This is a memorable vintage of San Lorenzo." 10/25

95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Antonio Galloni: "The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Ama San Lorenzo is redolent of black cherry, plum, graphite, leather, incense, licorice and dried flowers. Ample and dense, the 2022 stains the palate with waves of dark fruit intermingled with salivating acids and beams of tannin. This full-bodied Gran Selezione has a ton to offer. I would give it a few years to settle, as it is quite imposing in the early going." 07/25

98 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Aromas of al dente fruit, sandalwood, violets and roses follow through to a precise palate of dark cherries. Medium-bodied and subtle, with very fine tannins that are elegant and vivid. Like grand cru Burgundy, in essence. Available in March 2026. Drink on release or hold." 07/25

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "The fragrant Castello di Ama 2022 Gran Selezione San Lorenzo has compelling aromas of blue flower, eucalyptus, wild berry and dark exotic spice. Generous but also showing intensity, the elegantly structured palate delivers ripe red plum, fleshy Morello cherry, vanilla and licorice before a spearmint finish. Taut, velvety tannins provide poised support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2026–2034." 10/25
