The founding of Castello di Ama dates back to 1976, when four families originally from Rome set out to restore a prestigious wine estate to the splendor it deserved. The estate, which originally consisted of 55 hectares and was located in the heart of Chianti Classico, was immediately enhanced through major investments in the vineyard, following the most up-to-date agronomic techniques of the time, and the construction of a new winery, equipped with steel tanks, temperature control and large work spaces.

To date, Castello di Ama owns and manages about 75 hectares of vineyards. This site itself is spectacular – a rounded hilltop and vineyards between 1600 to 1750 feet above sea level. It has perfect southern exposure and the clay-limestone soils that are considered ideal for Sangiovese, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.

All production comes purely from the vineyards conducted by the winery under sustainable agriculture. 320,000 bottles are produced on average every year, divided between Chianti Classico and IGT labels.
