A VERTICAL WINE DINNER FEATURING CASTELLO DI AMA: L’APPARITA

A VERTICAL WINE DINNER FEATURING CASTELLO DI AMA: L’APPARITA
with Lorenza Sebasti, Owner of Castello di Ama

Join us for a rare vertical tasting of Castello di Ama’s cult Merlot, L’Apparita. One of Tuscany’s most iconic single-vineyard wines, it was first released in 1985 and celebrated for its elegance, depth, and remarkable aging potential. In celebration of Castello di Ama’s 40th anniversary, we will pour five vintages: 1989, 1995, 2000, 2011, and 2021, with standout acclaim including 100 points (Vinous) for the 2021 vintage and 98 JS points for 2011, alongside strong Parker and WS scores for earlier vintages.

Guiding the evening is Lorenza Sebasti, owner and CEO of Castello di Ama and part of the founding family, sharing first-hand stories and insights behind these extraordinary wines.

The wines are paired with a four-course menu by Chef Luca Pezzera: Sautéed King Prawn with chickpea purée, Homemade Pici with rosemary lamb ragù and pecorino, grilled Black Angus Sirloin with parmesan potato mousse and rosemary glaze, and Orange Pound Cake with mascarpone cream and berries.
