The result is a wine of extraordinary elegance, with a fresh and bright profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinification of \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva DOCG “Le Stinche” 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e follows a traditional method.

After malolactic fermentation, the wine rests for 12 months in concrete tanks, where it refines its harmony, then continues aging for another 12 months in used French oak barriques. This step softens the tannins without masking the freshness of the fruit, typical of the Lamole territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Riserva of great balance and pleasantness, the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva DOCG “Le Stinche” 2016 - Fattoria di Lamole\u003c\/strong\u003e captivates with its authenticity and the elegance typical of Sangiovese from Lamole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents a beautiful \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight garnet reflections, a sign of its evolution in the bottle without losing vivacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it expresses clear aromas of ripe cherry, violet, and small red fruits, intertwined with light spicy notes and balsamic hints.
