Chianti Classico Blue Lamole di Lamole

Deep, vibrant ruby, giving typical violets aromatics with cherries and red berry fruits, lifted by a grace note of minerality. Assertive on entry, with savory freshness to the fore mid palate, before the delicious finale reprises fragrant notes of balsam-wreathed fruitiness.
Ideal with traditional Tuscan cooking, especially starters of cold meats and bruschetta toasted bread with spreads of all kinds, or charcoal-grilled pork drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.

Region Description

The best wines from this noble grape come from Tuscany, particularly in the Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti districts, although it is gaining in popularity in California. Sangiovese grapes make wine that is medium to high in acidity and firm in tannin; the wines can be light to full-bodied depending on where the grapes are grown. The aromas and flavors are fruity, often of a cherry-like quality. Hints of violets or a nutty character can also be present.
