Lam’oro

The Lamole di Lamole Estate was founded shortly after the Second World War. The historic winery, in which one still finds today the aging cellars and the vinsantaia (Vinsanto cellar), dates from the mid-fourteenth century; it was part of the Castle of Lamole.

Lam’oro is a wine of rocks and light. It comes from vines whose roots penetrate deep into the blades of terrain on the high hills of the Lamole zone, and whose grapes ripen in the golden sunshine. This wine is a project of refined harmony, in which decisions made in the vineyard and winery, as well as the choice of grape varieties, are instruments for bringing out the elegance “in liquid form” of a terroir that is unique and seductive: the Oro (“Gold”) of Lamole.

A deep, concentrated ruby color gives a foretaste of its rich aromas, which open up with fragrances of dark berry fruits such as blackberries and blueberries before giving way to woody hints of briers and underbrush, and then gliding slowly into voluptuous wafts of balm and spices, along with fresh minty and warm, toasty notes. On the palate, this complexity of sensations is anchored by dense tannins, which succeed in creating a taut yet silky texture that fills the mouth. There is a dark, brooding tone to the wine’s hue and flavor, but a certain salinity and acidity give vibrancy to its
taste profile, and the delightful persistence of its fruit encourages one to take another mouthful.
