Vinous: 95 Points

The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Ama San Lorenzo is fabulous. It offers up a compelling mix of blackberry graphite crushed rocks spice lavender and black pepper showing striking inner sweetness gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and mid-blowing balance all in a medium-bodied style that will be approachable with minimal cellaring. San Lorenzo remains an archetype for contemporary Chianti Classico. Production is down about 30% in 2020 because of stringent selection. (Drink between 2025-2040)

James Suckling: 95 Points

Aromas of black cherries with flowers and sliced dried oranges. Medium-bodied with very tight tannins and a firm and racy finish. Shows polish yet strength. Give this at least four or five years to open.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

Made with a selection of the best estate Sangiovese (with a hint of Merlot and Malvasia Nera) from across various parcels the Castello di Ama 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo is chiseled and dark with a through-line of dark mineral and crushed rock. That dry mineral note forms a precise frame around dark fruit and oak spice. The wine has drying tannins and a long polished finish. Published: May 31 2023
