Voted Winery of the Year 2005 by the Gambero Rosso, Ama’s history goes back to 1972 when four Roman families united to purchase the Ama estate with the goal of restoring it to the splendour of its 18th century heyday. New cellars were built, new plantings began with experimentation into non-indigenous varietals, and new methods of viticulture were pursued while in 1982. Marco Pallanti was introduced as winemaker. In 1984 Castello di Ama decided to increase the area devoted to chardonnay, and planted 4 more hectares in the area known as 'Poggio.' The grapes, were hand-picked with 60% fermented in stainless steel tanks and the rest in oak barrels. This has produced an interesting blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Malvasia showing apple, peach and honey character. Medium-bodied, with a creamy texture and a long finish this is a wine to enjoy. (6 x 75 cl)

Poggioal Tesoro SONDRAIA Bolgheri Tyrrhenian Coast
Description: The Sondraia, a blend of 65%Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, is a beautifully knit wine. The ripe fruit, rich palate and silky tannins are a testament to the Alberto Antonini’s winemaking skill. These classic French varieties are interpreted on Italian soil, with an elegant palate of plums, blackberries and dark cherries underpinned by sweet spices and coffee. The wine is full bodied yet supple with excellent complexity and a lingering finish. Poggioal Tesoro is the result of a joint venture between the Allegrini family of Verona, northern Italy and American importer, Leonardo Lo Cascio. Situated in Bolgheri, on Italy’s Tyrrhenian coast, this 70 hectare property was acquired in 2001 by the Allegrini family. They brought in consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini to advise on viticulture and winemaking. This is their third, and much anticipated vintage. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £129.04
