He calls the wine "fabulous" and emphasizes the endless layers of dark red fruit, its precision, elegance, and harmony. Galloni points out that the wine is already exceptionally silky, but that the aromas and flavors can still develop further into tertiary nuances. The recommended drinking period is 2015-2027 for a standard 0.75-liter bottle, indicating that this Chianti Classico is still evolving, making every sip unique. What makes it even more unique is that this is a double magnum. This is even more delicious and has an even longer expected drinking window.

This 2007 Chianti Classico pairs perfectly with Tuscan meat dishes like game, lamb, and stews, as well as aged cheeses or mushroom dishes. Thanks to its fresh acidity and round tannins, the wine remains versatile at the table. Each sip reveals new nuances, making a meal a true experience.

wine as a natural product

The 2007 Castello di Ama perfectly illustrates that wine is a natural product. The weather, the soil, and the grape itself influence each bottle. Even now, fifteen years later, it remains exciting to see how this Jeroboam continues to develop. The large bottle size contributes to a slow evolution, gradually increasing its complexity. Tasting it, therefore, becomes a new discovery every time.

maturation and storage

This Chianti Classico can age for several more years. Grand Cru wines store the wine in a climate-controlled wine warehouse, where the temperature and humidity are optimal for long-term storage. This keeps the bottle in top condition and ready to be opened at the right time. Decanting is recommended to fully develop the aromas, especially with a large bottle like a Jeroboam.
