LOVED this wine! I favor reds and had never tried a Moltalcino. Consider me fan! 😀This was a joy to drink, smell and taste. I derived the atmosphere of the vineyard. Nice, calm, quiet and lovely. I sense he ease of life and the respect for the wine and how it's made. The only gripe I would have is with the label. I don't really think the colors and the "trees" really say anything about this wine. No worries though - I can get over a label for a good wine! — 12 years ago

I really liked this wine and wasn't sure if I would. I tend to lead towards reds with a medium body and not whites but this is a definite exception. It was not "too light" but really compliments cheese and fruit. It's crispy and great for summer. A definite "must." — 12 years ago

LOVED this Wine. Chianti is not normally my first choice but it was recommended to me. It's balance is superb. Just enough flavor and tannin. You would be able to pair this wine with a lot. I had it with some bread and cheese and fruit one night and loved how it added to it all. It has a nice rich red color and really goes down really well with just a bite at the back of the throat with a fruity but sometimes oaky flavor. All in all a great "experience." I will be buying this again! ;) — 12 years ago

I haven't had very many "Pinot's" and I actually enjoyed this one! It was nice and bold - completely what I was not expecting. Quite a bite at the back of the throat and "tannin-y." Went well with an assortment of cheeses and fruits. I would buy this again if I wanted a bold taste. Nice. — 12 years ago

I was not really impressed with this Chardonnay. It is light and crisp - not full bodied. The color is clear citrine with low acid. Balance = mediocre at best. I loved the labeling and bottle color but other than that I think it's a good wine to sip on if you don't really care. — 12 years ago
