Maggiolo Chianti Classico DOCG has a taste that makes you feel the bright sunshine of this region. The name of this flavorful and supple wine comes from the Iris (Giaggiolo), the symbol of the Lamore region, and in May (Maggio), our vineyards reach the peak of their splendor. Our cantina is located on the hill of Lamore in the Greve in Chianti region. Lamore is the name of this land as well as the name of the Sangiovese gene discovered here. Lamore di Lamore is a name given to the original Sangiovese. It is said that the Sangiovese of Brunello di Montalcino originated from trees transplanted from Lamore. This land is well ventilated and dry, making it an ideal location that does not trap moisture. In addition, because it is on a slope, the water drains well, and the refreshing, pleasant acidity is born from this environment. We own 47 hectares at an altitude of 350 to 600 meters. This area is the highest in Chianti Classico. Currently, it is said that the area of Lamore is a subzone of Chianti Classico, separated from Greve in Chianti, and there is a movement to become "Lamore in Chianti". This shows that the unique terroir of Lamore gives Chianti Classico more individuality and diversity, and that it contains the qualities to produce great wine. The soil consists of three parcels, one Galestro soil and two soils composed of clay, sand and stone. The average age of the vines is about 20 years. However, some of the vines are over 70 years old. The area is characterized by moderate precipitation in spring and autumn, cold winters and warm summers. This area has a large temperature difference due to the winds blowing in from the northern Apennines, so the grapes are rich in sugar and polyphenols, and have a beautiful acidity and elegance. Enologo Andrea Daldin is a specialist who worked with his predecessor H. Pariani for about 20 years. He is from San Gimignano, and his father is a grape grower who makes Vernaccia. His five brothers are all still in the wine business, so they are truly a wine family. Since he helped his father with his work from an early age, wine work has become ingrained in him, and for him, this work is his calling.
