Castello di Ama

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:43:38

At Castello di Ama centuries-old wine-making traditions meet cutting-edge contemporary art. As well as producing internationally famous wines such as 'L'Apparita' Merlot, this estate also features a sculpture park showcasing 13 impressive site-specific pieces by artists including Louise Bourgeois, Chen Zhen, Anish Kapoor, Kendell Geers and Daniel Buren. It's 9km south of Radda, near Lecchi in Chianti.

Guided tours (in English, French, Italian or German) take in the sculpture park, villa and cellar – as well as 'L'Apparita', wines to keep an eye out for are the 'Haiku' Sangiovese/cabernet Franc/merlot blend and a delicious 'Vigneto Bellavista' Chianti Classico.
