On the 16th, comprehensive liquor company Interliquer announced the launch of three types of Sangiovese wines from the representative winery of the Chianti Classico region, 'Lamole di Lamole'.
The Lamole di Lamole winery is located in the Lamole area of Greve, to the north of the Chianti Classico region. The Lamole area is the smallest and highest in the Chianti Classico. This region, which produces in small quantities due to its size and is unaffected by climate change, has recently been gaining considerable attention worldwide.
The Lamole di Lamole winery is one of eight wineries in the Lamole area, boasting a historic background that dates back to the mid-14th century. It owns six vineyards across 37 hectares and produces Sangiovese wine at altitudes ranging from 420 to 655 meters.
The Chianti Classico region is the oldest and most famous grape-growing area in Italy, celebrated for its storied tradition that marked the 100th anniversary of its association's founding in 1924. It produces premium grade wines exclusive to 'Chianti Classico' with strict regulations. Wines produced in the Chianti Classico region must contain at least 80% Sangiovese, and a black rooster (Gallo Nero) is engraved on the neck of the bottle as a guarantee of quality, distinguishing it from regular Chianti wines.
The wines making their debut in South Korea this time are three types: the DOCG grade 'Duelame', which captures the characteristics of Sangiovese, the Riserva DOCG grade 'LaReale', and the uniquely blended DOCG grade 'Maggiolo'.
'Duelame' features a refreshing fruit scent of red berries and floral notes. 'LaReale' can be savored for its deep and complex flavor after a minimum of two years of aging. Made from 100% Sangiovese, it harmonizes the scents of ripe red fruits, violet flowers, and subtle nuances of balsamic and herbs. 'Maggiolo' consists of 90% Sangiovese blended with 10% Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, offering the smoothest texture. The three types of wines from Lamole di Lamole are available for purchase on Interliquer's own mall and at liquor stores.
Chahoon, the representative of Interliquer, noted, 'The wines of Lamole di Lamole are currently receiving significant attention even within the renowned wine region of Chianti Classico in Italy.' He added, 'In the future, we will carefully select high-quality wines that showcase the characteristics of each region to provide consumers with a diverse range of choices.'
