Lamole di Lamole draws its name and its character from the enchanting valley first discovered and cultivated by the Romans, and where these fine Chianti Classico wines were born. Selected from exclusive lines of grapes, shaped by the valley’s unique microclimate, and crafted in the cellars of an ancient castle, the wines of Lamole di Lamole offer exceptional flavors that complement the finest traditional meals and which only get better with age.Lamole di Lamole is the name of an enchanting hollow valley in the heart of Chianti Classico. Since Roman times, the fertile lands here have been prized and guarded for the flavorful crops they bring forth, and the cellars of a mighty castle that once protected the region have become our winery.Blessed with a unique microclimate, the valley provides ideal rainfall and drainage, with an excellent range of altitudes, soil types, and temperatures. Over the years, the estate’s program of clonal selection has identified the two site-specific Lamole clones of sangiovese that give the wines their unique character.The historic Lamole di Lamole winery stands on a building dating from the mid-14th century: one of the storehouses of Lamole castle, which was progressively extended in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today it houses the cellars where the estate’s wines are aged and its Vinsanto is fermented. Here you will not only find the latest vintages of our multi-award-winning Riserva Campolungo cru, but also the “historic memory” of Lamole di Lamole: dozens of bottles of past vintages that testify both to the ageing potential of the estate’s wines, derived from the unique terroir, and to the age-old knowledge that pervades this very special village. Over the years, the old ageing cellar and Vinsanto cellar have been joined by a more modern fermentation cellar in Lamole, just a stone’s throw from the piazza dominated by the Romanesque church of San Donato, and the new production facilities in Greti in Chianti, with a modern visitors’ centre.
