Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
"The nose opens with black cherries and blackberries, then leans into sanguine, umami undertones of top soil, graphite and bergamot. The palate glistens with berries which are sweet and ripe, but still just a little tart, before a citrus finish structured by dense, textured tannins. " - Danielle Callegari
"Maggiolo Chianti Classico D.O.C.G. is a taste of the joyful sunniness of our area. The name of this tasty, rounded wine is based on that of the iris (“giaggiolo”), a typical flower of the Lamole area that dots our vineyards in the month of May (“Maggio”) when it is at the height of its splendor" - WINERY NOTES
Lamole is a higher-lying section of the Chianti Classico, where the Chianti Mountains transition into hills. It's now officially a recognized geographic region distinct from the large Greve district thanks not only to the higher altitudes (420-655 meters a.s.l.), but also the sandier soils that have eroded down the mountains over millenia.
Aged 18 months in large casks (Sangiovese) and small French oak barrels (the French varieties).
"This wine goes marvelously with dishes that contain spices or have piquant sensations, or herby recipes. It is also ideal with various types of soups, especially those made from chickpeas, wild peas or lentils and simply seasoned with extra virgin olive oil. Try it too with the meat dishes of Asian or South American cuisines." - WINERY NOTES
