Description
What kind of wine it is
Lamole di Lamole Chianti Classico Maggiolo is an organic red wine with a generous and enveloping profile. This harmonious blend combines the typical character of Sangiovese with the personality of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a sip that balances freshness and smoothness. On the palate, the tannins are rounded and flavourful, supported by well-calibrated acidity. The floral bouquet opens with notes of cyclamen and violet, fading into fruity sensations of blackberry, blueberry and mulberry, with elegant hints of sweet spices and cocoa.
Where it comes from
This red is born in Lamole, in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the area of Greve in Chianti. The vines grow in high hillside vineyards, up to 655 metres above sea level, benefiting from optimal exposure, ventilation and a wide temperature range. The soils, characterised by Tuscan galestro rock and sandstones with inserts of alberese, promote ideal ripening and give precision to the flavour. The wine's name pays homage to the local landscape, combining the month of May with the blooming of the iris, the village's symbolic flower.
How it is produced
The grapes are harvested in October and begin vinification in stainless steel with a short maceration. After six months resting in steel, separate maturation takes place to enhance each grape variety. The Sangiovese matures in large barrels for over a year, while the international varieties rest in used barriques, harmonising the structure. This process results in a glass that is ideal to accompany chickpea soups, game and spicy dishes.
History and Curiosities
Produced on a historic estate founded in 1974 in Greve in Chianti, this extraordinary organic wine expresses the essence of the Tuscan high hills. Its poetic name is inspired by the union of the month of May and the blooming of the iris, the symbolic flower of the village of Lamole. Grown at altitudes of up to 655 metres on soils rich in galestro and alberese, the vines benefit from an ideal microclimate that gives the wine great elegance and longevity. An authentic Chianti Classico DOCG that celebrates respect for the land.
