2016 Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico, Italy, Tuscany, Wine Review
One of my go to Chianti's. Truly a consistently great value. 2016 is another great vintage in Chianti in general and for this wine. Ruby/purple in color. The nose has cherries, slight black cherries, tea leaves and just a bit of fennel. On the palate, this is medium bodied. A nice backbone of acidity. Concentration and depth that will undoubtedly unwind into layers as it ages. Right now lots of cherries on the palate. This drinks well on its own but really is better with food. Of course, pizza and pasta with tomato sauce but almost any meat or fowl or vegetable dish will work. D
