Vinous
The 2022 La Casuccia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky tannins, floral aromatics and bright, red-toned fruit make a strong first impression. Delicate and nuanced, with gorgeous mid-weight structure, the 2022 dazzles from the very first taste. The 2022 is quite possibly the most polished edition of the La Casuccia I have tasted. What a wine!

Wine Advocate
Showing dark concentration and depth, the Castello di Ama 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia feels ripe and plump. The bouquet is packed with blackberry preserves and baked plum. There are hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, and the wine offers a somewhat chewy, velvety texture. This is mostly Sangiovese with Merlot in a supporting role. La Casuccia is a wine of intensity, volume and power, and you certainly feel that in this vintage. La Casuccia complements the other cru expressions such as Bellavista by offering a little more texture and volume.

Blackberry, blueberry, violet and sandalwood aromas. Medium-bodied with fine, firm, silky tannins that are long and intense. Racy and energetic. It shows focus and structure. Available in March 2026. Drink after 2027. (JS)

Wine Spectator
Ripe cherry, blackberry, pomegranate, earth and toasty oak flavors mingle in this solidly built red. Silky and expressive midpalate, showing youthful balance. Dense tannins leave a chalky feel on the finish. There’s fine potential. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2028 through 2048. 25 cases imported.
