Lamole Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

Tom Casagrande
9.0

This cuvée, from a small Chianti Classico-based co-op, is always a fantastic value. The 2020 Lamole is no exception. I love wines from this subregion. This has a boisterous nose of slightly sour cherry, pungent wild herbs, and dried loamy gravel. Soft in the mouth, and darker-hued than the nose suggests. The acids are quite soft (it’s a ‘20, so . . . ) and there’s plenty of ripe, soft tannin providing tactile interest. Ideally I’d like a bit more depth and length, but since I got it for under $20 there’s no way I’m complaining. — 8 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I’ve always been drawn to Co-Op wines (Caves du Turckheim is a great example), so I was particularly drawn to your reference of this being a Co-Op wine!! Cheers!

Quick after-the-fact notes. This was so beautifully balanced. Not the same can be said for many 17s. Love it. — 2 months ago

True. If you can find the 2017 Casa Emma CC, that another. They did not make a Riserva that year (though they did make a GS).

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red/black fruits, floral and smoky oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum flavors with garden herb notes, cacao, tobacco and toasty notes from 18 months of oak aging. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, vanilla and an earthy smoky spice character. Nice! Will age! — 7 days ago
