The 2018 harvest of La Mirandola, a historical reality of the territory led by Lorenzo Scala, was presented in the name of an excellent quality-quantity. A quality that, even this year, has had the opportunity to the company to develop its best, allowing to speak about wine in all its expressions. Labels of great personality, which fully embody the essence of their territory, offering a loving and authentic portrait.

Like the Chianti Riserva 2015 which, the result of a vintage of great value, presents an absolute novelty: it is the company’s first biological reserve. Obtained with Sangiovese and Colorino grapes and subjected to refining in tonneaux of five quintals, this wine represents the greatest espression of the meticulous qualitative selection implemented by Lorenzo Scala.

In fact, it is bottled only in the best vintages, so the Riserva de La Mirandola promises to bring some of its Chianti to the heart of those who savor the incomparable taste. Expected output for January 2019, try it!

In this period the harvest, according to initial estimates, is already giving important satisfactions to winemakers, and has come the time for La Mirandola, a company in Castellina in Chianti headed by Lorenzo Scala, to inaugurate its harvest season. A season that started on September 25th promises very well already. “Unlike other years, when we start the harvest in early October, this time we started a little early” – explains Lorenzo Scala, who points out: “Although being a biological company, we have been punctual in treatments and vineyards, not affected by any kind of atmospheric events, so they are in excellent health “. As well as the grapes that “show a good ripeness and, at a qualitative level, let they hope”. And what about the quantitative aspect? “In terms of quantity – continues Scala – we are perfectly in line with our standards”. An excellent quality-quantity ratio that constitutes an important starting point for future projects: “Fortified of the good health of the Sangiovese grapes, this year we will focus a lot on our Chianti Classico”.

What would we do to get publicity?! For example, claiming legends that do not belong to our story. This is not the case for Lorenzo Scala, patron of La Mirandola in Chianti, who knows the story of the ancient Templars really closely, being a member of the Milizia del Tempio Ordine dei Poveri Cavalieri di Cristo (“Militia of the Temple Order of the Poor Knights of Jesus Christ”) – a private association that propose to the members a knightly lifestyle inspired to the ancient Templar Order.

“Templars were famous for their tenacity in battle: they were dauntless, with no fear of death, unbeatable thanks to their deep spirituality”. His eyes are sparkling while he’s telling this. “Browsing among old books I discovered that close to the vineyard where I grow grapes for the production of the Templars’ Red Wine, there was one of the routes of the Via Francigena”.

The proof that La Mirandola wine is the one and only Templars’ wine is the old seal realized by the Maestro Silvano Belli (registered in Switzerland). Now you have 2 reasons to come and visit Lorenzo in Chianti Classico: discover the wine of the ancient Order and be bewitched by the legends that belong to this sites. “Who knows if some knights, admiring a sunset, have been sipping a glass of wine, maybe from La Mirandola, thinking of the battles in the faraway Holy Land.”

Saying Sangiovese is saying Tuscany. We are talking about a Sangiovese that was born in Castellina in Chianti and recalls the aromas of the Tuscan tradition. The Rosato produced by La Mirandola is a simple wine that is characterised by a good sapidity and born from a gamble with friends, as one of the best traditions of a typical,small winery as the one owned by Lorenzo Scala. Don’t expect a wine made only of perfumes, cause his persistence and acidity will surprise you, making you desire to enjoy it for an aperitif or to taste it all meal long. Their friends from Liguria, which are part of this project, say that is perfect with fish first courses or cheeses.

Another very attended new entry is Alaphridus. It’s a wine that is obtained from the best winery selection, and for this reason it’s not produced every year. Alaphridus is connected to Lorenzo’s grandfather, from who it takes its name in fact (Alfredo) and was born from the first vineyard ever planted in this corner of Tuscany. The most beautiful jewel of this winery is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, for a total production of 2500 bottles after an aging in 500 l oak barrels. These two international grape varieties reach their optimal ripeness only in the best vintages. So if the weather says no, its decision is respected, and the wine is not meant to be.

Buy Wine is an important showcase and meeting point for producers and buyers, the occasion to tell what’s behind a wine. “I’m not a salesperson – tells Lorenzo Scala, patron of La Mirandola nel Chianti – but I’m a producer”. I take part to this event to stand up for it, to show the hands that cultivate, harvest and process the grapes that give life to these wines, to tell the peculiarities of my wines and why they are different one each other”. Lorenzo’s passion is born from the desire to build something on the foundations laid by his grandfather in this corner of Tuscany. “I studied something else but then I felt like my life and my life ideals could take shape only through this project. I will present 2 Chianti Classico wines to Buy Wine, Picus and La Mirandola, and 2 IGT wines, Alaphridus 2016 and Buteo. Presenting our Alapharidus 2016 is particularly touching for me: we only produce it in the best vintages and this is the first time in years. I will be there to tell about my work and illustrate the aroma and the flavour of each one of my wines. Maybe I’m not a good seller but I have no doubts about the quality of my products. I’m sure that those who will come and meet me at Buy Wine will understand it just looking me in the eyes and tasting our wines. Each vintage, as well as each wine, is different. It’s important to respect this and to be able to welcome the unpredictability of nature in order to transmute its potentials into unique high-quality nectars”.
