SPECIFICATIONS

TASTING NOTES

Haiku was born in 2009, with a blend of 50% Sangiovese, combined with Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes divided equally for the remaining part. Its name is inspired by the traditional Japanese poetry of three verses, synthesis of a great intuition and expressive ability. The Haiku grapes are vinified individually, and then blended after malolactic fermentation; it follows a period of about 12 months of aging in barriques of first and second passage. The wine is presented in the glass of intense purple red color, with ruby reflections, the nose alternates with graceful notes of red fruits and spicy hints typical of Cabernet Franc. The mouthfeel is extremely balanced, soft and full, but made dynamic by the tannins and freshness of Sangiovese. Haiku is a Tuscan red wine perfect for a Sunday lunch, excellent in combination with fine cuts of meat, such as fillet or entrecôte. To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 16/18 ºC.

THE WINERY

Castello di Ama

Name: Toscana Haiku
Brand: Signorvino
SKU: VFR01331 2018750
Price: 49.9 EUR

The Castello di Ama winery owes its origins to four families of Roman origin who, charmed by the beauty of the hills of Tuscany and united by a passion for good wine, decided to try their hand at producing Chianti in the 1970s, bringing the ancient village of Ama back into vogue. This village, a hamlet of Gaiole in Chianti, is surrounded by 75 hectares of vineyards, divided into four areas, all at an altitude of between 420 and 525 metres above sea level. The soils are rich in limestone, clay and rocks, each able to give a particular note to the different grapes that are harvested there: freshness and elegance here, harmony and power there, dotted with hints of berry fruits, tobacco, liquorice and mint. Lorenza Sebasti and Marco Pallanti, the current managers of the Castello di Ama winery, now produce labels of exceptional value, recognised and appreciated all over the world. As Marco explains, their aim is to make the uniqueness of the soil, landscape and vines perceivable with every sip of their fine red wine. Name and address of producer/distributor: Castello di Ama - Località Ama in Chianti, 53013 Gaiole in Chianti SI. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
