CASTELLO DI AMA L'APPARITA 2010 MAGNUM 1.5L

Castello di Ama “L'Apparita” 2010 – Magnum (1.5L)

Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy

Castello di Ama L’Apparita 2010 in Magnum is a profound and beautifully structured expression of pure Merlot, combining power, elegance, and exceptional aging potential, further enhanced by large-format maturation.

The Wine

Produced from a single vineyard in Gaiole in Chianti, L’Apparita is one of Tuscany’s most iconic 100% Merlot wines, celebrated for its precision, depth, and terroir-driven character.

The 2010 vintage—considered one of the greatest in Tuscany—delivers remarkable balance, concentration, and freshness. Careful aging in French oak refines the wine’s structure and complexity, while the Magnum format (1.5L) allows for slower evolution and extended longevity.

Tasting Notes

The nose is deep and complex, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and cassis, layered with notes of violet, graphite, cocoa, and subtle spice.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, with a dense core of dark fruit supported by finely structured, polished tannins. Nuances of chocolate, tobacco, and mineral undertones add depth and sophistication.

The finish is long, precise, and harmonious, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and refined oak.
