Lamole di Lamole Duelame Chianti Classico DOCG 2022
From the historic Lamole di Lamole estate in Greve, Tuscany, the Duelame Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 is a refined red from high-altitude vineyards at 450–600 meters. Crafted from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo, sourced from sandy-galestro soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 12 months in large oak casks, it offers a ruby hue and vibrant elegance, reflecting the excellent 2022 vintage.
Winemaking Process
Lamole di Lamole’s traditional approach shines in this wine. The 2022 vintage undergoes fermentation in stainless steel with 15–20 days of maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging for 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks preserves fruit purity while adding subtle structure, creating a balanced Chianti Classico with bright acidity, soft tannins, and long aging potential.
Tasting Notes

The nose reveals red cherry, raspberry, and violet, with hints of spice, herbs, and graphite. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and harmonious, with lively acidity, fine tannins, and flavors of red fruit, licorice, and a clean, mineral finish.
