The name says it all: Due lame – two terraces – refers to the extreme altitude range of the vineyards between 420 and 655 metres. These are the highest Sangiovese vineyards in the whole of Tuscany, arroccati on the mineral-rich steps that gave the village of Lamole its name. The ochre-coloured "Macigno Toscano" soils, interspersed with Galestro and Alberese, give the wine its characteristic sharpness and elegance. The winery in the heart of Chianti Classico has been part of the Santa Margherita Group (Herita Wines) since 1993 and vinifies in the historic cellars of a Castello dating back to 1350. The grapes undergo optical selection, ferment in stainless steel with 7-10 days of maceration and mature on the lees until late winter. A short maturation in large oak barrels rounds off the process.

Bright ruby red in the glass. Iris, violets and red forest berries with hints of herbs on the nose. Fresh and generous on the palate with a surprisingly mineral finish – a Sangiovese, "affilato nel gusto", as the winemakers say: polished in flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a subtly brightening rim. Rather restrained on the nose, but shows great precision and tension on the palate, with salty, juicy flavours, good energy and liveliness." Falstaff
