Chiara Condello is a rising star in Italian wine who launched her eponymous project in Predappio, Emilia-Romagna in 2015 after studying economics at Bocconi University in Milan and deciding to pursue winemaking over a corporate career. She grew up near her family’s Condé estate, founded by her father Francesco Condello in 2001, and now farms roughly five hectares of Sangiovese organically on calcareous-clay and spungone soils that are among the most expressive in Romagna. Condello’s approach combines careful manual work, extended maceration with native yeasts and ageing in large neutral vessels to produce wines of pure fruit intensity, layered texture and lifted aromatics, helping to elevate Sangiovese from Predappio on the global stage.
Lucciole Sangiovese 2022 comes from older Sangiovese vines planted on clay-limestone soils at around 450 metres altitude. The 2022 vintage was marked by warm, even ripening with moderate yields, producing concentrated yet balanced fruit. Grapes were hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged on fine lees in neutral vessels to preserve freshness and clarity. The wine is bright and lifted, showing red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs and subtle spice, with supple tannins and a long, mineral finish.
