Lamole di Lamole Chianti Classico 'Lareale' Riserva 2018
Vintage Character
Lamole di Lamole Chianti Classico Riserva "Lareale" 2018 is a DOCG Riserva from the high-altitude Lamole zone within Chianti Classico, an area long prized for fragrant, finely etched Sangiovese. The 2018 vintage in Tuscany was generally balanced rather than powerful, with a cooler growing season and measured ripening that favored freshness, aromatic lift, and classical structure, making it a particularly attractive vintage for lovers of elegance and value. Lamole’s distinctive hillside vineyards, set in a natural amphitheater on rocky galestro and sandstone-rich soils, are known for cooler conditions and strong day-night shifts that help preserve acidity and detail in the fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The Wine Advocate awarded this wine 91 points, and the profile fits that endorsement: red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and rose petal lead the nose, followed by balsamic herbs, sweet spice, and a light earthy note. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied yet poised, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and flavors of pomegranate, sour cherry, dried flowers, and subtle oak-driven clove and vanilla, finishing savory and persistent. It pairs beautifully with rosemary roast lamb, porcini mushroom risotto, or duck breast with cherry sauce.
Winery Background
Lamole di Lamole has deep roots in one of Chianti Classico’s most historic villages and has built its reputation around restoring and championing high-altitude viticulture in Lamole. The estate emphasizes sustainable, organic farming, careful site selection, and hand-tended vineyards to preserve the area’s naturally aromatic, graceful expression. In the cellar, the philosophy centers on precision over weight, using traditional varieties, meticulous vinification, and measured oak aging to frame rather than mask the wine’s mountain freshness. That combination of altitude, heritage, and a distinctly elegant house style makes Lareale a compelling benchmark for the cooler, more perfumed side of Chianti Classico.
