Editor's verdictUpdated Tue Jul 7, 2026

I haven't personally tried this wine but this producer has a good reputation. $24 is a good price - lowest I see on wine-searcher is ~$32 for this vintage, or ~$30 for the 2018. - Jimmy (Wine Buyer App)

A bright, shiny ruby red, a dark core. The fruit is somewhat reserved on the nose, elegant earthy tones, some chocolate powder, wet stone. Great structure on the palate with a salty-juicy undertone, powerful, tightly woven tannins, beautiful length.

Vinous92 pts

The 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva is laced with dark red cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and incense. Rich and heady, with terrific balance, the 2022 has a lot to offer. It's a terrific example of the style at Molino di Grace these days. All the elements are so well balanced. Floral overtones reappear to close out the finish.

James Suckling92 pts

This is very balanced and focused, with savory nuances, a core of ripe red and dark berries and hints of orange peel and spices. Tense and juicy, it has a medium body with crunchy tannins and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drink now or hold.

Wine Spectator91 pts

Cherry and raspberry fruit mingles with eucalyptus, earth and tomato leaf in this juicy red. Harmonious enough to enjoy now and firm enough to develop over the next decade. Best from 2026 through 2038. 2,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.

A late start to the season was erased by heat and drought in May, June and July; rain in August and early September saved the vintage
