The hamlet of Lamole (population under 100) is situated in the highest part of the hills of Greve in Chianti, close to Monte San Michele. The grapes for this Gran Selezione come from a privileged location of a single vineyard named Campolungo.
Between the second and third weeks of October.
Once at the crush pad, the grapes are sent through the optical sorter, which not only selects berries with optimal sugar ripeness but also sorts based on color, berry size, and skin density. Vinified using our unique metodo differita (deferred extraction method) for brilliant color and smooth tannins. Aged in large oak casks, with a small proportion in barriques, for 30 months and a further 7 months in the bottle, for integration of flavors and more pronounced oak tannins. Campolungo is a single vineyard and translates from Italian to “a long field."
Six months of aging in stainless steel, then 30 months in large, 792-gallon casks.
A bouquet of violets and red and black berries, mingling attractively with spicy and balsamic aromas.
On the palate, it is powerful and vigorous, dynamic and elegant. Tannins are dense and sleek, and there are notes of espresso and clove on the finish.
A concentrated, bright ruby red color.
The concentration of flavors and complexity pair well with pastas with
meat ragù, game dishes, and slow-simmered stews such as octopus in
tomato sauce. For a vegetarian option, try Pasta e Fagioli. Great with aged
cheeses.
