LAMELLE
2024
IL BORRO • CHARDONNAY TOSCANA IGT
"Elegance in its purest form: the brilliance of Tuscan Chardonnay under the Ferragamo family's vision of excellence."
The Freshness of a Legacy
Lamelle 2024 is the result of a challenge: producing a world-class white in a land of great reds. The Il Borro estate, of the Ferragamo family, has achieved with this vintage an expression of Chardonnay that stands out for its purity. Grown in soils of ancient origin containing fossilized shells (the source of the name Lamelle), this wine avoids oak to favor freshness, mineral tension and an aromatic elegance that places it among the most sophisticated whites of Tuscany. James Suckling rated it 92 points. Buy it at La Cava Shop with free shipping from $1,499 MXN and discover more Il Borro wines, Chardonnay wines and white wine.
