Pairings
The poetry of Lamole
A vineyard lying on ancient terraces, cultivated using the archaic alberello lamolese bush training system, gives its name to our Vigna Grospoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. The sandy soil of the Chianti massif – together with the constant exposure to breezes and to very bright sunlight – creates the ideal conditions for a charming, lyrical wine. It is complex in structure, rich in aromatic nuances, and seductive on the palate: this is the poetry of Lamole di Lamole.

Vineyards of provenance
The Grospoli vineyard at Lamole, in the commune of Greve in Chianti at an altitude from 540 to 580 meters above sea level.

Alberello lamolese bush training. 6000 plants per hectare.
Grapes harvest period
The third week in October.
Vinification
The grapes, picked in the after careful selection, are destalked and pass through an optical sorter.
Following pressing, the must ferments in 50 hl truncated cone-shaped vats, with maceration on the skins for about two weeks. This is followed by a period of maturation of at least 30 months in medium-sized oak barrels, with a small proportion having its élevage in barriques.
The subsequent maturation in bottle for over nine months before release onto the market is
fundamental for the integration and harmony of the wine’s aromatic and structural components.

Organoleptic form
A concentrated, bright ruby red colour acts as a prelude to the bouquet of violets and red and blackberry fruits, which mingle attractively with spicy and balsamic aromas. On the palate, it is powerful and vigorous, dynamic and elegant; the extremely dense tannins are set off by tastebud-tingling tangy and succulent sensations that linger in a finish that simply crackles with fruit, spices and aromatic herbs.
Gastronomic combinations
Because of its concentration and depth, this is a wine with a natural disposition for pairing with food, especially with richly flavored soups, pasta dishes with game sauces, and meat recipes that are slow-cooked or include spices and herbs. Excellent with more mature cheeses.
