Castello di Ama, "Vigna L`Apparita" Merlot Toscana IGT 2019

Mit dem Jahrgang 2016 hatte der L`Apparita endgültig den Olymp der internationalen Weinszene erklommen. Dieser 100 Prozent Merlot steht auf einer Stufe mit dem berühmten Masseto der Tenuta Ornellaia und dem wohl bekanntesten und gesuchtesten Rotwein der Welt: Chateau Petrus.

Der Jahrgang 2019 ist von überragender Qualität, die internationalen Verkosten vergeben Höchstnoten:

Galloni: 98 Punkte

"This set of new releases from Lorenza Sebasti and Marco Pallanti is the most impressive I have ever tasted here. The wines are strong across the board, while the 2019 flagship wines - La Casuccia, Bellavista and L'Apparita - are off the charts great. Pallanti has long coaxed notable intensity from these vineyards, but the 2019s add dimensions of freshness and energy that are simply breathtaking. I tasted these wines a few weeks later in my home in New York, far away from the bucolic setting of Ama, and was equally blown away."

Robert Parker: 98 Punkte

"One of the stars of Italian enology, this iconic wine is Merlot in name but Tuscan in spirit. The L'Apparita is a gorgeous wine and one that brings an enormous sense of excitement and energy to those who drink it. Its texture is soft and rich, yet the tannins are gentle and round. There is plenty of substance and structure here, however, with seamless layers of black fruit, cherry, sweet spice and tobacco. The wine's complexity is enhanced by elegant mineral tones and a subtle, menthol-like signature. Temperature control and careful pump-overs are executed, and great care is taken during harvest to avoid any overripe berries. Cool, calcareous soils with many stones serve to insulate the roots and lock in freshness. The secret of this wine is magic of site, exposure and geology. This is another collectors' edition of L'Apparita."

James Suckling: 97 Punkte

"Enticing aromas of blackberries and violets with some fresh black olives. Fresh violets as well. Full-bodied and very rich and layered with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Lingering flavors of dark chocolate in the finish. Powerful merlot here. Drink after 2026."

Falstaff: 96 Punkte

"Dunkles, leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase auf Minze, Preiselbeere, Zedernholz, dazu elegante Brombeerenuancen. Zeigt sich am Gaumen sehr geschliffen und vielschichtig, öffnet sich dunkelbeerig im Kern mit tollem Grip, eng verwoben, tolle Länge mit sattem Druck im Finish, kann ruhig noch etwas lagern."
