In this exclusive journey, we will venture into the heart of Chianti Classico aboard a magnificent vintage car, a 1928 Lancia Lambda, an authentic icon from the golden era of motoring. With the wind in your hair and the nostalgia of a bygone era, we’ll traverse breathtaking landscapes. The tour begins in the historic center of Florence, where your authorized tour guide will warmly welcome you, guiding you through the fascinating history of the region you’re about to explore.
Our first stop will be the renowned Piazzale Michelangelo, a panoramic viewpoint offering a captivating skyline of Florence. Our adventure continues to Greve in Chianti, a charming village nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, where we’ll treat you to a coffee break at a picturesque local café. As you stroll through the main square beneath its graceful arcades, you’ll immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of this enchanting corner of Tuscany, surrounded by local products and artisan shops.
The Wine Experience
Now, it’s time to rev up towards the Lamole di Lamole Winery, an area renowned for its Chianti wine production. Lamole sits on a natural terrace in the heart of Chianti Classico, where vineyards climb narrow valleys and steep hills. The altitude, temperature variation, and exposure create the perfect environment for optimal grape ripening, resulting in elegant, refined, and long-lasting wines. Its name derives from the “lame” or terracotta ridges sculpted by the elements over millennia.
Accompanied by an expert sommelier, we’ll visit some of the vineyards, all under entirely organic management, and explore various cellars to learn about Lamole di Lamole’s wine production process.
Our guests will then enjoy a guided wine tasting, leading them on a sensory journey to appreciate how the unique characteristics of the terroir, such as lighting and ventilation, enable optimal grape maturation, imparting elegance, richness, and persistence to the wines’ aromatic and gustatory potential. For those interested, the option to expand their wine selection beyond our choices with premium bottles for an even more exclusive and personalized experience will be available.
The Culinary Experience
After the wine tasting, we’ll once again board our Lancia Lambda for the final leg of the journey, culminating in a superb lunch at the Vitique Restaurant. Thanks to the chef’s meticulous selection of ingredients, you’ll savor a five-star culinary experience that will make this day in Chianti even more memorable. At Vitique’s enoteca, you can embark on a true oenological journey from north to south Italy. Lamole is, in fact, part of the Santa Margherita Wine Group with ten wineries, precious pieces of an extraordinary oenological mosaic, and ten estates where climate and culture, land and knowledge, history and the future converge. Every day around the world, 544,000 toasts bearing the Santa Margherita signature are made, and the group’s wines are exported to over 90 countries.
