Duelame Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
An expression of two fundamental aspects of the terroir.
Tasting notes
Its bright ruby red color introduces us to a floral bouquet of iris and violets, along with scents of red berries and hints of aromatic herbs. It is fresh and generous on the palate, with extremely fine-grained tannins that integrate splendidly with its tangy notes and crisp red fruit. Suggestions of underbrush linger on the aromatic finish.
Pairings
An ideal red for accompanying traditional Tuscan dishes such as pappa al pomodoro (bread and tomato soup) or pici with game sauces, but also – served cool selections of rustic cold cuts, a tartare of raw meat, testaroli with a basil pesto, or even fish with various sauces.
Why we like it
It is the typical altitude and soil that inspired the name of Duelame Chianti Classico D.O.C.G.. It is produced from vineyards planted with indigenous grapes lying at the estate’s two extremes of altitude, the lower at 420 meters and the higher one at 655, lying on lame (literally, “blades”) of land, those stratified terraces rich in mineral substances to which Lamole owes its name and which make the landscape of Chianti Classico unique. The wine we obtain is intense and spontaneously heroic in taste.
