The Story
Intense reddish-purple with ruby nuances. Aromas of fruits of the forest (raspberry and black currant) with pepper, wild herbs and tobacco. Fresh and mouth filling with evident varietal nuances. Fundamentally elegant with inherent freshness that evolves to a silky finish.
95 Points - James Suckling
Blackberries, black cherries and graphite on the nose. It’s full-bodied with very polished and lightly chewy tannins and a tangy finish. Minerally and citrusy at the end. Solid wine that needs two or three years of bottle age to soften.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the Castello di Ama 2021 Haiku presents an immediate and vertical set of aromas that are delivered with the concentrated intensity you can expect of this classic vintage. There is an inky quality to this wine with black fruit and blackcurrant. Additionally, there is a sweet versus sour theme that imparts both savory spice and summer-ripened fruit. Earthy tones and rosemary essence appear on the medium-acidity close.
93 Points - Wine Spectator
Though dense and unyielding for the moment, this is nonetheless stuffed with black cherry, blackberry, plum, earth and iron flavors. Aggressive tannins shore up the finish, yet the final impression is ripe fruit. Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2028 through 2045.
