Giacomo Mori Chianti Riserva Castelrotto

The Mori family has owned this estate since the 18th century and have been growing grapes and selling wine to the local cooperative since the 1830s. However, it was not until the mid 1990s that Giacomo Mori renovated the vineyards and cellar and began estate bottling, resulting in some of the most distinctive wines in Tuscany. The small estate has the distinction of being located outside the Chianti Classico zone, which is one of the factors that explain why the wines remain so reasonably priced. Brimming with notes of dark plum, spice, leather, tobacco and earthy, this Chianti Riserva is certainly a wine of authority and substance.
