The Pinot Nero IGT Il Chiuso 2019 from Castello di Ama is an elegant wine that impressively reflects the subtleties of the Tuscan terroir. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Nero, a grape variety that originally comes from Burgundy and is known for its complex aromas and fine structure. The vines were planted in 1984 in the Bellavista vineyard on limestone and clay soils, which contributes to the exceptional quality of the wine. The open lyre training system allows the grapes to ripen optimally
.In the glass, Il Chiuso 2019 is a clear ruby red with slight purple reflections. On the nose, intense aromas of red fruits such as cherry and strawberry develop, complemented by floral notes of violets and spicy nuances of cloves and a hint of mint. On the palate, the wine has lively acidity, elegant tannins and a long, mineral finish
.The 2019 vintage benefited from ideal weather conditions, which allowed the grapes to ripen evenly. This resulted in a wine with remarkable balance, intensity and freshness. Il Chiuso 2019 was aged in 50% new and 50% one-year French oak barrels for around 12 months, which contributes to the complexity and
depth of its aromas.
