I Fabbri Lamole Chianti Classico 2021
The Wine
90% Sangiovese grosso from Lamole, 10% Canaiolo old vineyards cultivated at 550 mts. The Grassi estate (called Casole) has been in the family’s hands for over 400 years. In addition to making wine, the Grassi’s were also local blacksmiths in the ancient village of Lamole. The Grassi’s grandfather was the first to commercially sell the family’s wine during the 1920s, however, the property fell into an abandoned state by the mid-20th century. By the year 2000, the sisters returned to I Fabbri with the mission to reignite its viticultural flame.

About the Wine Maker 
Today, Susanna and Maddalena produce site-specific wines from the family’s nine hectares of vines in Lamole. Most of their land is dedicated to Sangiovese, with small plots of Canaiolo and Merlot smattered in.
All of their land is farmed organically and biodynamic principles are incorporated. Lamole is often referred to as the ‘roof’ of Chianti, as its growing sites are situated at altitudes of 500+ meters above sea level.
Susanna and Maddalena are proud to be two of the few women winemakers pioneering the exquisite vineyard sites of Chianti.
