Tasting notes
This is a beautiful wine with terrific freshness and plenty of primary fruit definition over mid-weight texture. This classic vintage is worth your attention, as the Castello di Ama 2021 Chardonnay di Toscana Al Poggio so effectively teaches us. Cool climates and altitudes shape distinctly focused and mineral-driven sensations. This wine offers soft citrus, orchard fruit, crushed stone and a savory touch of fresh herb. The secret to this wine is its sun-driven, Tuscan spirit.

The 2021 Al Poggio (Chardonnay) is classy, elegant and polished, like few vintages I can remember tasting. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, mint, dried flowers and a hint of spice lend nuance, with soft contours that wrap it all together.
