The Story
The wine is named "Lamelle" after the Italian word / description for the grooves (precisely "lamelle") of a shell which is beautifully depicted on the label. The shell was used because the area where the grapes are grown is rich in sea fossils which are very similar to these shells. These fossils go back to the end of the Pliocene period where there was a deep lake that existed about 3 million years ago.

Rumours of the Etruscans buzz throughout the vineyards, but concrete records of Il Borro date back to 1254, when the Mscagni family purchased the castle of Il Borro and the surrounding land. Ownership has changed many times, seeing royalty and the ambitious roam its halls. In 1993 Ferruccio Ferragomo purchased the estate, and his son Salvatore now leads as CEO.
