Lamole di Lamole, Lam’Oro Super Tuscan 2018

This wine, with its multi-varietal approach, echoes the polyphony of rock and light of Lamole’s terroir: a paradigm of creative profundity, lyrical dynamism and harmonious composition in liquid form.

The three varieties of grapes, picked when perfectly ripe, are vinified with separate fermentations of the musts at variable controlled temperatures (between 24 and 28 °C; 75 – 82 °F) and “customized” maceration on the skins in order to highlight their specific aromatic and structural characteristics.

Maturation in barriques takes place separately for the component wines for the first 6 months, before proceeding with carefully calibrated assemblage and subsequent maturation of the blend for another 2 years in barriques. This is followed by bottling and at least 8 months’ bottle-aging before release onto the market.

Tasting Note: A deep, concentrated ruby color gives a foretaste of its rich aromas, which open up with fragrances of dark berry fruits such as blackberries and blueberries before giving way to woody hints of briers and underbrush, and then gliding slowly into voluptuous wafts of balm and spices, along with fresh minty and warm, toasty notes. On the palate, this complexity of sensations is anchored by dense tannins, which succeed in creating a taut yet silky texture that fills the mouth. There is a dark, brooding tone to the wine’s hue and flavor, but a certain salinity and acidity give vibrancy to its taste profile, and the delightful persistence of its fruit encourages one to take another mouthful.
