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: to produce a world-class white wine in a land known for great reds. The **Il Borro** winery, led by Ferruccio Ferragamo, has achieved with this 2024 vintage an expression of Chardonnay that stands out for its purity. Grown in ancient soils with the presence of fossil shells (hence the name *Lamelle*), this wine avoids oak aging to prioritize freshness, mineral tension, and an aromatic elegance that places it among the most sophisticated white wines of Tuscany.
