Description:
Its color is a deep ruby red with a faint garnet tinge. On the nose, the initial sweetish woody sensations make way for the elegant perfumes that are typical of Chianti Classico, like hints of iris and spicy tones. On the palate, the tannic austerity of Sangiovese is truly traditional, and this is accompanied by the warm, savory notes of a wine destined for long aging.

The authentic soul of Chianti Classico Lamole di Lamole can look back on more than 500 years of history, and since the 15th century it has been the cellar of the most important local fortresses. More recently, the area has risen to prominence thanks to the two Sangiovese clones native to Lamole responsible for the wines’ distinct territorial character. Lamole di Lamole’s uniqueness lies in the fact that the vineyards are located in one of the highest parts of Chianti Classico, which enables them to bring the grapes to optimal ripeness while imbuing their aromatic potential with special elegance, richness and persistence.
Wine Making:
Temperature-controlled fermentation (at 26° C; 79° F) lasts for around 20 days, with pumping over in an open vat during the initial phase; the malolactic fermentation takes place immediately after the alcoholic one. This is followed by a long period of maturation (around 2 years) in new 50-70 hl French oak barrels.
Style:
Fresh & Floral
Dominant Flavour:
Floral
Black Fruit
Food Pairings:
Sangiovese’s powerful structure makes this wine suitable for a wide variety of food pairings, although highly flavored (non-fish) dishes are particularly recommended: grilled meats, salted pork, vegetables and cheeses.
