100/100: The "simply epic" (AG) L'Apparita - Only 300 Magnums Made!

Castello di Ama’s 2016 L’Apparita is one of the finest wines of the benchmark 2016 Tuscan vintage. Rated at 100 points by Antonio Galloni and 99 points by Monica Larner, this is an absolute stand-out and is all the more exciting in rare magnums. We are, therefore, delighted to have eight (of just 300 filled) to offer directly from our cellars in London. 

Castello di Ama is one of Tuscany’s elite producers, and the 100% Merlot of L’Apparita is the jewel in the crown of the estate. For Galloni, “Castello di Ama’s Merlot L’Apparita has built an enviable track record that places it among the world’s most pedigreed wines”. The 2016 is one of the best ever, a flawless masterpiece that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best wines made anywhere in the world.

Galloni calls this 100-point scorer “a breathtaking, riveting wine that captures all the potential of the vintage” and “wonderfully complete and magnificently beautiful”. For Monica Larner, this is “A true symbol of the vintage, the wine shows the classic lines and extreme precision we can expect from 2016”. It’s the sort of praise that marks it out as worth a special effort to find and secure.

With only 300 magnums released, this is a rare beast. Details are below, do take a look and get in touch if you would like any secured:
