The 2018 Castello di Ama Vigneto Bellavista is a study of contrasts. Composed of 80% sangiovese and 20% malvasia nera, the red blend toes the line between power and refinement. Muscular tannins and bracing acids form a sturdy structure around layers of ripe black fruits, wildflowers, leather, coffee, mint, anise, and gravel.
 
This dynamic wine would not be possible without virtuosic winemaking and renowned terroir. However, we’d be remiss to overlook the hospitable weather in 2018. Strong diurnal temperatures in autumn contributed to a multi-dimensional aromatic profile that captures the fruit’s freshness. The sangiovese and malvasia nera also reached optimal levels of acidity, structure, and sugar, making 2018 Bellavista the complete package.
 
The Final Sip: Like a football player with a ballet background, 2018 Bellavista seamlessly blends brawny power with grace and elegance.
