Giacomo Mori Palazzone Chianti Riserva Castelrotto 2016 Review

This wine is great. It’s priced right and has all the Chianti you want. Bright and sunny cherry/cranberry fruit. Active acidity flying all around keeps the depth in check. It’s even a bit young with some ornery tannins, but it's drinking very well now. This is a great case-buy or a gift for a legit pasta night with friends.
