2021 Lamole - Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Lareale (750ml)

Elevated up to 655 meters above sea level in the Lamole subzone, the 2021 Lamole Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Lareale concentrates classic Sangiovese character through steep organic terraces and extended oak maturation. Cultivated on historic parcels known as Il Prato and Le Masse, the grapes pass through optical sorting before undergoing roughly twelve days of gentle maceration with periodic pump-overs. The fermented wine then rests for more than two years in oak vessels of graduated capacity, building structure and aromatic layering while preserving primary fruit definition. The finished Riserva displays a deep ruby hue with an aromatic sequence of wild red berries, violet, broom, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, juiciness meets disciplined architecture, supported by fine, firm tannins and vibrant acidity that clean through to a notably long, mineral-tinged conclusion. The extended aging period required for DOCG Riserva classification ensures seamless integration, making the 2021 version ready for dining tonight or suitable for short-to-medium term cellaring.
