Why we love it: Another of Susanna’s inimitable wines - one that you truly won’t find anywhere else. I Fabbri’s Chianti Classico Riserva is made with 100% Sangiovese Grosso di Lamole: a unique biotype of Sangiovese that is known and celebrated for its aromatic complexity, freshness and elegance. This is where the saying, i profume di Lamole (“the perfume of Lamole”) comes from. Vines growing from 550-650m are meticulously cared for through the growing season, and Susanna handles the grapes with the utmost care: her use of stainless steel and neutral French oak respects the fruit of the singular wine.
Grapes are manually harvested in the last two weeks of October. The wine fermented in stainless steel to retain fruit purity, pressed after 14 days, and then aged in large (500L) neutral French oak for only 10 months. All fermentations are spontaneous: slow and patient transformations.
