Castello di Lamole Chianti Classico

Fattoria di Lamole, owned by The Socci family which has extremely deep roots in the area of Lamole, the high-altitude appellation of the Chianti Classico zone – the earliest mention of them in the historical records is in the year 1071. The family’s wine roots trace back to Giovanni, Paolo’s great grandfather, who planted vineyards in the area in the 1800s. Giovanni’s son Carlo left his career as a notary to return to Lamole to undertake the reconstruction of the vineyards after they were destroyed by phylloxera. Carlo was one of the founders of the Chianti Classico Consortium in 1924. 

Made with organically farmed Sangiovese, this has aromas of mocha, baking spice and scorched earth. The ripe, straightforward palate offers baked plum, espresso and vanilla alongside dusty tannins.
