TourCastello di Ama: Art Among the VinesThis isn't a winery with some art on the walls. This is one of Italy's most important contemporary art collections that happens to make exceptional Chianti Classico. Since 2000, owner Lorenza Sebasti has commissioned site-specific works from legends: Anish Kapoor's mirror that reflects the vineyard, Louise Bourgeois's hanging installation, Kendell Geers's thorn spiral, Daniel Buren's colors in the cellar. The art is placed IN the landscape, among the vines, in the cellars. You walk through a world where Sangiovese and sculpture intertwine. The wine itself is consistently 95+ points. This is Story Potential 5 for anyone who cares about either art or wine.
