JURIJ FIORE & FIGLIA
Chianti Classico Porcacciamiseria 2021
- 95 points -
"Porca miseria" translates as "holy cow" in English, and the Jurij Fiore & Figlia 2021 Chianti Classico Lamole Porcacciamiseria takes that exclamation of surprise one step further. This is a beautiful wine and one that you are not likely to find, given that only 938 bottles were made. On a symbolic level, this wine is very important because it captures the philosophy at the heart of Lamole. This is Sangiovese with tiny additions of other Tuscan complementary grapes that reveal exceptional elegance and grace. Wild berry and cherry are followed by lots of blue flower and lilac. Fruit comes from a site perched at a very cool 654 meters above sea level, making this a very contemporary expression in a world of changing weather patterns and new microclimates.
