Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico SoloSangiovese 2015

Tuscany, ItalySoloSangiovese is one way to get the message out that your Chianti Classico is entirely sangiovese. Il Molino di Grace is just that in the excellent 2015 vintage, and this pure, juicy, dark-fruited Chiati walks the line between traditional and modern. Lovely lift here with bright acidity mixing among the violets and black cherries, all wrapped up in an earthy finish. The vineyard sits between 280 and 400 metres, and fruit is all hand-harvested. It gets 20 days of maceration with frequent punch-downs before ageing 12 months in a mix of stainless steel, Slavonian oak casks, French barriques, and tonneaux of second use. A terrific year that will repay patience in the bottle through 2030.Tasted: 21 February 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
