Description
From her oldest vines, with basically an optimal fruit selection from the lower terraces to inform this Riserva cuvée, this sh!t is a knockout. Aged in demi-muid (500L barrel) that are a minimum of 10 years old, this one simple dazzled me, even more complete and intense in all aspects amplitude, depth, savory nuance, yet even finer in texture, airy/weightless; I’m getting accustomed to the Lamole sense of high toned sustain/lift,and I freakin’ love it. Its sustain of all things fruit/floral/mineral is simply gorgeous, and I look forward to sitting with this wine over meal several times in the years to come. Holy cow, what a beautiful, and singular wine……get what you can justify, and thank me later. A little * awarded here.
“The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is laced with dried herbs, tobacco, incense, leather and forest floor notes. It’s a savory, structured Riserva that captures the essence of Lamole. Deceptive in its medium-bodied structure, the 2021 packs a pretty serious punch. This super-expressive Riserva from proprietor Susanna Grassi has a ton to offer.” 92 Antonio Galloni
“The organic I Fabbri 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva is a steady wine that persists for the medium-long haul over the palate. It shows a classic profile for Lamole, in which acidity and brightness are the protagonists. There is wild cherry, cassis, blue flower and peat moss woven over a lean to mid-weight mouthfeel.” 93 Monica Larner for the 2020, NOT THE 2021 OFFERED HERE.
