Lamole di Lamole

Tuscany, Italy

Philosophy

High-altitude Sangiovese from terraced vineyards above 500 metres elevation yields wines of remarked elegance and minerality. Optical sorting and extended maceration on skins; maturation in oak and traditional wooden vessels preserves freshness while building structure.

Reputation

On the high slopes of Lamole village in northern Chianti Classico, where sandstone and galestro form naturally complex soils, lies an estate whose winery dates to the fourteenth-century Castle of Lamole. Founded as a wine estate in 1945, Lamole di Lamole occupies a position at the appellation's upper limit for Sangiovese, where altitude—up to 655 metres—and cool breezes preserve the grape's acidity while concentrating flavour.

AllocationFounded year is approximate (sourced as 'shortly after WWII' with oldest vineyard planted March 20, 1945); assume ~1945. Estate acquired by Santa Margherita in 1993 (documented). Now operates under Herita Marzotto Wines SpA corporate structure. Organic certification achieved circa 2022 (described as 'nearly 17 years' from 2005 conversion start in Feb 2023 source). Specific certification body (likely ICEA) not named in sources but inferred from Italian wine certification standards.

Historic winery building dates to mid-14th century (Castle of Lamole); wine estate foundation post-WWII. Production volume not disclosed in public sources.
