The Lamole di Lamole Lareale Chianti Classico Reserva has a deep, garnet-tinged ruby colour; the bouquet gradually unfurls flowers, fruit, spice and gunflint in an intriguingly absorbing array of earthily wide-ranging aromatics; sangiovese’s austere tannins are firmly in the traditional mould, underpinning progression on the subtly nuanced but very centred palate, which combines warmth, freshness, savouriness and minerality.
