Sangiovese stands as the predominant grape variety in the renowned red wines of Tuscany, playing a central role in the production of Brunello di Montalcino and serving as the primary component in Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and numerous 'Super Tuscans.' Whether in the solitary expression of Brunello or blended with other varietals, both young and aged Brunello wines tend to exhibit elevated tannins, notable acidity, and vibrant fruit flavors that, instead of diminishing, gracefully soften over time. These wines have the capacity to mature for several decades or more. To bear the designation 'Brunello,' the wine must undergo a mandatory aging period of five years before its release.

The wine showcases a deep ruby red hue with distinct pomegranate reflections. Its aromatic profile is intricate and enduring, revealing notes of pink and red flowers, accompanied by the fresh, fruity essence of cherries and raspberries. While presenting a robust body, the wine maintains a significant tannic structure.

The vinification process involves an extended maceration period lasting 30-40 days, followed by a prolonged maturation in large Slavonian barrels for 24-36 months.

Lambardi

Nestled in the stunning region of Montalcino, Tuscany, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, the Lambardi family embarked on their winemaking journey in 1965. Captivated by the area’s beauty, they acquired property here, and by 1973, they began crafting their first wines, producing around 500 bottles.

Lambardi’s approach is deeply rooted in tradition, focusing on the production of genuine, territorial wines. Their portfolio centers on Montalcino's classic appellations, including Rosso di Montalcino DOC and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG.

The family’s winemaking respects the essence of Sangiovese—Montalcino’s signature grape—using traditional methods such as extended macerations and aging in large Slavonian barrels. Their 6.5 hectares of vineyards, located in the Canalicchio di Sotto area in Northern Montalcino, benefit from the region's unique terroir, producing wines that truly reflect the land's history and character.

Lambardi wines are a true expression of Montalcino’s heritage, showcasing a commitment to quality, authenticity, and nature.

Terroir

Montalcino

The terroir of Montalcino, particularly near this area, is defined by its diverse soils, high elevation, and Mediterranean climate, all of which contribute to the power and elegance of Sangiovese Grosso. The vineyards here benefit from altitudes ranging between 250 and 500 meters, creating a cooler growing environment that allows for long, slow ripening, preserving acidity and enhancing the aromatic complexity of the wines.

The soils in this part of Montalcino are a mix of Galestro (schistous marl), clay, and limestone, with sections of alberese (compact limestone), providing excellent drainage and adding structure to the wines. The microclimate is influenced by warm, sunny days and cool nights, as well as breezes coming from both the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines, ensuring a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness.

This unique terroir produces Brunello di Montalcino wines that are deep, structured, and long-lived, with intense red fruit, floral notes, earthy complexity, and firm yet refined tannins. The balance of altitude, soil composition, and climate in this area results in wines that are both powerful and graceful, embodying the best of Montalcino’s winemaking tradition.

Region

Toscana

Tuscany’s terroir is defined by its rolling hills, ancient soils, and a Mediterranean climate that varies across the region's diverse landscapes. The soils are rich in limestone, clay, and schist, particularly in the Chianti Classico and Montalcino areas, offering excellent drainage and contributing to the wines' structure and mineral complexity. The climate, characterized by warm summers and cool nights, allows for balanced ripening, preserving both acidity and aromatic intensity in the grapes. The region benefits from significant diurnal temperature variation, particularly in the higher elevations, which helps retain freshness in the wines. This terroir is particularly suited for Sangiovese, the backbone of many Tuscan wines, but also supports a wide variety of other grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. The wines from Tuscany are known for their elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness, showcasing a balance between ripe fruit, structure, and the unique mineral character of the region.
