• Aroma: On the nose is a fresh and fruity wine with an extraordinary range of perfumes, mainly the scent of elder flowers.
• Taste: The taste is fruity with a well-balanced mineral acidity.
• Region: Hailing from Toscana, near Arezzo, the vineyards benefit from marl-rich soils (galestro) and significant temperature fluctuations due to the proximity of the Alpe di Poti. This micro-environment naturally enhances the grapes’ organoleptic qualities and health.

Extra notes:

• The Pancaro family has owned Fattoria Il Muro for approximately 200 years, with their historic wine cellar locally known as “Cantina La Panchera.”
• The name “Lama” originates from an ancient local “podere,” or farmstead, where a farmer’s family once lived under the traditional “mezzadria” system.
