Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The superb 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista shows impeccable balance and offers a classic portrait of Sangiovese (with a small part Malvasia Nera). Castello di Ama has a beautifully unique way of interpreting the potential of the Chianti Classico appellation and this wine is a prime example. The bouquet follows classic lines with wild berry and spice but Vigneto Bellavista also boasts a wild side with some cured meat and animal-like aromas that suit it very well. The mouthfeel is polished and streamlined but those dark fruit flavors should flesh out with more bottle aging. -Monica Larner
Vinous: 94+ Points
Black cherry plum graphite smoke dried Mediterranean and crushed rocks are front and center in the 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista. Searing tannins give the 2013 much of its energy and vibrancy. A dark brooding yet austere mid-weight wine in the best of the Bellavista tradition the 2013 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Today the 2013 Bellavista is especially forbidding. It won't be ready to drink for a good handful of years and even that may be optimistic. -Antonio Galloni
James Suckling: 94 Points
A fine red with blueberry lemon and mineral character. Medium body fine tannins and a fresh and very clean finish. Linear and focused. Structured. Better in a year or two but stylish now.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Complex and inviting aromas of sweet cherry leather and spice lead to a core of cherry and strawberry fruit singed by tobacco and earthy woodsy accents. Firm and long with a refreshing finish. Best from 2019 through 2028.
