Case of 6 2019 Le Lucciole Riserva Organic Sangiovese 750ml
"In my wines I seek the authentic expression of my land, its history, its soul. I imagine a bright pure wine, that is born from the unrepeatable conditions of the vintage and of its terroir of origin. To reach that, I have decided to work in a simple way, following the dictates of organic viticulture and handcrafted winery management." There are no better ways to explain this incredible wine than by using the words of Chiara Condello herself.
Practicing organic viticulture, Le Lucciole is Chiara's Riserva. It's 100% Sangiovese sourced from a parcel of 0.8 hectares planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare, 250m above sea level. The vines are 20 years old.
Only one case available.

| Taste | "Pure silk release tart cherries brought to life by vibrant acids, as saline-minerals saturate the senses and hints of fine tannin add balance. The finish is long, displaying mineral laden bright red fruits, kept in motion by lingering acids, while hints of fine tannin persist in this classically structured Sangiovese". Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2020 |
| Colour | Red ruby |
| Fragrance | "Remarkably fresh and cool-toned expression, displaying dusty ripe cherry, smoke and sweet red florals, grounded by a hint of animal muskiness". Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2020 |
