ORGANICALLY FARMED
100% Sangiovese Predappio
The Chiara Condello "Le Lucciole" Riserva speaks to the potential of both the winemaker and the region for producing top-quality Sangiovese - in this case, a distinctive type found in the Predappio area of Romagna. North Berkeley Imports describes the wines made from Sangiovese Predappio as having "a luminous, suave and spiced character, redolent of cherry blossom and smoky incense." In this Riserva, you can find a complex array of flavors like pomegranate, raspberry and cherries, mingling with notes of pencil lead, tea leaves and forest floor. The very long, seemingly unending finish has a gentle acidity, supple tannins and a touch of the earthy flavors that are the benchmark of top-quality Sangiovese. Lightning in a bottle!
Fermented with some whole clusters in large open-top oak vats and aged in 3500-Liter casks for 2 years.
Estate History: Chiara Condello is a young winemaker located in the town of Predappio in Emilia-Romagna, specifically Romagna. Chiara owns seven hectares of land, 4.8 of which are planted to Sangiovese, and the rest are split between woods and olive trees. Her family also makes wine in Predappio under their own label called Condè, but Chiara works in her own way, with her own vineyards and own cellar. Farming is organic since the beginning, making use of cover crops and the occasional application of horse manure. Her first vintage was 2015, and in short time she’s combined her bright-eyed enthusiasm with a clear vision of what her Sangiovese should be.
