2020 Castello di Ama L'Apparita Toscana IGT

The 2020 L'Apparita will soon take its place among the great Apparitas. Unctuous and layered in the glass, the 2020 possesses exceptional balance and tons of character right out of the gate. Exotic scents of blackberry jam, chocolate, new leather, licorice and smoke are so alluring. Imposing tannins need time to soften, but once that happens readers will be treated to a spectacular Apparita that captures all the best the vintage had to offer. Marco Pallanti waited until mid-September (late for the year) to bring in this fruit. That decision paid off handsomely.

Dark, bright ruby red. Inviting nose, fresh blackberries, oak, light notes of honey, elegant notes of stone, beautiful and aromatic dried flower petals, a lovely savoury quality. On the palate, bright fruit, juicy, elegant, polished, wonderfully balanced, smooth, complex, with fantastic salty notes in the aftertaste.
