The 2022 Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole is laced with wild cherry, white pepper, sage, mint and dried herbs. Here, the warm vintage was very much a plus for a wine that can be on the slender side because of the elevation at this site. Soft, silky and caressing, the Filetta is a star. It spent 18-20 months in cask, an approach that works so well here.

Notes of damp earth, iodine and sandalwood mingle with dark cherries and plums. Medium-bodied with lively acidity and polished yet firm, slightly chewy tannins. The finish is vibrant and tense, showing good fruit concentration and length. From organically grown grapes.

Perfumed and lacy, offering aromas and flavors of plum, blackberry and fruitcake, plus a hint of chocolate. Ripe, with refreshing acidity and a base of refined tannins. Best from 2027 through 2042.
