About Il Molino Di Grace 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva
Il Molino di Grace is located in the heart of the Chianti region. The winery of Il Molino di Grace – the ‘windmill of grace’ – stands among 74 acres of vineyards that have been producing traditional Chianti Classico wines for over 350 years, and is complete with an historic 19th century windmill.
The vineyards here are farmed organically and the wines are certified organic. This Riserva is 100% Sangiovese from hand-harvested hillside fruit fermented in stainless steel tanks and macerated on skins for 20 days. The wine was aged in a combination of French oak barriques and Slavonian oak cask for 12 months.
Decanter Magazine scored this 93 points saying "Il Molino di Grace's Riserva is a little like the middle child: when a Gran Selezione is produced at the estate, this is the second wine to be assembled and is often made in smaller quantities - and much smaller quantities than the SoloSangiovese. Yet the 2016 is simply lovely. It's bright and lifted with well-defined aromas of sweet herbs, coffee, raspberry bush and violets. It's packed with fruit but remains light on its feet. Elegantly structured and long."
Wine Spectator scored this 95 points saying "A sheen of vanilla and toasty oak complements the lush, ripe black cherry and plum fruit in this suave Chianti Classico. Focused and well-structured, showing fine balance and a long finish that brings tobacco and orange peel hints into play. Best from 2022 through 2040."

Vinous scored this 93 points saying "The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is another fabulous wine from Il Molino di Grace. Black cherry, plum, spice, lavender menthol and licorice all build in this beautifully layered, mid-weight Riserva. Ample, creamy and resonant, the Riserva is an absolute joy to taste today."
