The renaissance Woman of Winemaking

It’s always been true love

As a 15-year-old, Lorenza Sebasti fell in love with Castello di Ama. Today, she runs the place. Her family bought the little village in the middle of Italy’s Chianti region and turned it into a hideaway with comfortable suites, a restaurant, contemporary art installations and, of course, wine production. In doing so, Lorenza and her family found a solution fort traveling clientele, constantly searching for unique and special experiences every seasons. Lorenza talked to COMPANION about what makes this little wine producing village sp special, and how they came to present contemporary art there.

 “We consider it a privilege to work and live here.”

Al Castello di Ama le bottiglie di Chianti classico si degustano alla fine di un tour che include 16 grandi opere di grandi artisti, da Kapoor a Pistoletto, da buren a Sugimoto.

We stopped using insecticides in our vineyards many years ago as we now use natural defenses.

Il vigneto, inteso come il luogo di origine di uva di qualità, rappresenta il nostro caveau.
