About this wine

“Le Lucciole” (the fireflies) is Chiara Condello’s top wine, from an old-vine Sangiovese parcel rooted in calcareous clay rich in marine fossils. The 2021 vintage (still very young) shows deep cherry and plum fruit, violet, blood orange and hints of graphite and spice. The palate is concentrated and vertical, with firm, chalk-dust tannins and bright acidity promising excellent cellaring potential.

Chiara Condello

Chiara Condello farms high-altitude Sangiovese in Predappio and has quickly become one of central Italy’s most exciting young voices. Organic practices in the vineyard, gentle vinifications and restrained oak produce wines that are fragrant, vertical and remarkably refined for the region. Her bottlings, including single-vineyard Le Lucciole, show a Burgundian sensibility applied to pure, expressive Sangiovese.
