Gaiole in Chianti

Castello di Ama

Chianti Classico DOCG · Contemporary Art

An estate as remarkable for its art as for its wine. Since 2000, owners Marco Pallanti and Lorenza Sebasti have commissioned permanent site-specific installations from artists including Louise Bourgeois, Anish Kapoor, Daniel Buren, and Kendell Geers — each integrated into the buildings and landscape. The wines are equally distinguished: the Vigneto Bellavista Gran Selezione and the legendary L’Apparita Merlot are among Chianti’s finest. Visits by appointment.
