Le Lucciole 2021

£47.25 GBP

Chiara Condello 2021 Le Lucciole is an exceptional wine produced from a small vineyard of less than one hectare, featuring around 5,000 Sangiovese vines. It is organic, born from a deep respect for the plants and soil, and is crafted with a meticulous approach that includes manual labour, mechanical weeding, and minimal treatments.

A wine suitable to accompany you for an entire meal, particularly indicated with medium-structured dishes: pasta and meat-based second courses, game, and cheeses. Excellent for contemplation as well.

The label for this exclusive cru is designed by artist Francesca Ballarini, with whom Chiara Condello collaborates every year to tell a new story, reflecting the individuality and uniqueness of each harvest.
