WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Ama by Castello Di Ama begins with hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures to manage extraction. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of maceration to further develop its structure. Aging occurs in a combination of large oak casks and smaller barrels, contributing to complexity and softening tannins. Castello Di Ama emphasizes a philosophy of terroir expression, balance, and longevity, incorporating sustainable vineyard practices and a unique artistic vision on their estate.
