Lamole di Lamole Chianti Classico is produced in Lamole, a tiny village nested into Chianti, south of Greve. It’s made mainly with classic Sangiovese grapevine, but using the specific clone selected in Lamole 3 decades ago. Has a deep and clean ruby red color. Smells of berries, cherry, spices. Feels full with good persistence, scents of wood and jam. It’s perfect with roasted beef or meatballs. You can drink a bottle and still feel you want more. I’ve had a chance to visit the winery and it’s amazing, definitely a must see. And a must taste, of course

Two years ago I’ve been to Tel Aviv for work. While I was there, a guy called Yaron (who worked in the company I went there for) tried all the best to make me feel at home. For example he brought me to Jaffa, the Dead Sea and more amazing places. One day I’ll blog about that travel. Last week he’s come to Italy along with his wife and I’ve had the pleasure to meet them in Ferrara, my birth town. I definitely love talking with foreigners, trying to understand their culture. This is how we discover we’re different and there are things we take for granted but shouldn’t. They told me they love Italy, except it’s too expensive and crowded by tourists. They’ll come again, I’m sure
