Haiku 2018 ist eine elegante Cuvee aus 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Franc und 25% Merlot. Das Bouquet ist verführerisch fruchtig nach Waldfrüchte, Himbeere, schwarze Johannisbeere mit floralen Noten und frischem Heu. Am Gaumen imposant durch seine Frische und Balance, Würze, Pfeffer, Wildkräuter und Tabak ergänzen sich mit präsenten Röstaromen und zarten Tanninen. Ein poetischer Wein der Toskana, der in Erinnerung bleibt.  

James Suckling 
Very attractive blackberry and blueberry aromas follow through to a full body with creamy tannins and a firm, racy finish. Hints of fresh herbs and nuts in the aftertaste. Very drinkable, but even better in a year or two. 

Wine Advocate 
A blend of mostly Sangiovese with Cabernet Franc and Merlot in supporting roles, the Castello di Ama 2018 Haiku is a very interesting and somewhat unexpected expression that delivers big richness and lovely concentration, yet the fruit is never too ripe. In fact, it might be a tad underripe in this vintage that saw a few cooler weeks in early summer and some rain toward the end of the growing season. In all, it shows careful balance with an elegant, medium-bodied approach that is propped up by fresh and lively fruit. There are some Cabernet Franc-driven aromas of black olive tapenade. Like the other wines in this portfolio, Haiku is distinctively Mediterranean in personality.

Antonio Galloni 
The 2018 Haiku is fabulous, In fact, the 2018 might be the best vintage yet, as it has a bit more resonance and persistence than some of the earlier editions. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and spice build into the resonant finish.
