IL CASTELLACCIO Chianti Classico Lama dell’Araldo 2024

The Chianti Classico Lama dell’Araldo 2024 is a Cru produced in just 600 bottles, embodying the most solar and energetic side of the South-West slope in Lamole. In this area, the increased sun exposure allows the Sangiovese to achieve fuller maturity and a more robust structure, while still retaining the characteristic freshness of vineyards located at 600 meters of altitude.

Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with minimal intervention to preserve the purity of the fruit. It is aged in fine-grained tonneaux, a choice that helps create a silky and enveloping texture, perfectly balancing substance and elegance.

With an alcohol content of 12% vol, the “Lama dell’Araldo” stands out as a dynamic and vibrant wine. On the palate, a sharp acidic backbone supports a smooth and rounded body, accurately reflecting the geodiversity of Lamole. It is an ethereal yet structured expression that mirrors Davide Bottai’s vision of highlighting the unique micro-terroirs of high-altitude vineyards.
