In May, when the iris – tuscan "giaggiolo" – the vineyards of Lamole are bathed in violet light, the soul of this wine is revealed. The name Maggiolo was born from the fusion of flower and month: a Chianti Classico that expresses the sunny generosity of the altitudes between 420 and 655 metres in liquid form. Unlike the purist Duelame, Maggiolo is a blend of 80% Sangiovese with 10% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. After visual berry selection, the grapes ferment separately in stainless steel. The Sangiovese matures for 18 months in large oak barrels, the international varieties in barriques – a marriage that combines structure and suppleness.

Bright ruby red with violet reflections. The nose unfolds cyclamen and violets, dark berries, mulberry – mulberry, blackberry, blueberry – as well as hints of cocoa and sweet spices. Morbido e avvolgente on the palate: soft and enveloping, with polished tannins and a final reminiscent of iris fields in bloom. SUPERIORE.DE
