The 2019 Il Molino di Grace Il Volano is an outstanding value wine that showcases the artistry of Tuscany with remarkable depth and character.
Crafted by a winemaking team that includes an alumnus of the renowned Fattoria Fontodi, this red blend of Sangiovese and Merlot is a testament to the precision and passion behind its creation. The wine captivates with dark black cherry, blackberry, and plum flavors, layered with eucalyptus, earth, and a distinctive iron minerality.
Veteran wine critic Bruce Sanderson of The Wine Spectator awarded it 91 points, praising its beefy tannins and lingering finish, and highlighting its aging potential, peaking from 2023 through 2030. With only 3,000 cases produced and 2,000 cases imported, this is a rare gem offering exceptional quality at an accessible price point.
Il Molino di Grace, rooted in the heart of Chianti, carries a heritage steeped in respect for the region's traditions and terroir. The estate’s name, "The Windmill of Grace," pays homage to the iconic 19th-century windmill on the property. With a philosophy centered on sustainability and showcasing the true essence of Tuscan wines, Il Molino di Grace balances modern techniques with time-honored practices. The involvement of a winemaker from Fontodi, a benchmark estate in Tuscany, elevates Il Volano, delivering a wine that punches far above its weight in quality and sophistication.
Stocking up on this wine is an opportunity to enjoy a richly expressive, affordable Tuscan blend that embodies the legacy and future of the region. Don't miss this one!!
