The story
The Socci family's presence in Lamole dates back centuries, while the Fattoria was consolidated as a business in the 19th century: local sources report that in 1870 notary Giovanni Socci unified the properties and founded the Fattoria di Lamole. In recent decades Paolo Socci has led a major effort to restore the terraced vineyards and historic buildings, renewing the plantings and recovering traditional clones of Sangiovese.
Production philosophy
The estate focuses on preserving the landscape and the local terroir: restoring and maintaining terraced vineyards, selecting traditional Sangiovese clones, and using low‑intervention winemaking practices. Several labels are listed as organic wines on the production sheets; the winery favors limited productions that reflect the identity of the place.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in the village of Lamole, a hamlet of Greve in Chianti. The vineyards are planted on the hilly slopes of the Chianti Classico, with soils rich in alberese/galestro and macigno typical of the area; the microclimate and elevations contribute to the floral and mineral expression of the wines.
Awards and recognition
Local recognition for the restoration of terraced vineyards and for eco-friendly practices in wine tourism.
