Giacomo Mori's 2006 Chianti offers bright red fruit intermingled with floral, perfumed aromatics. Though not quite as generous as I had hoped for in 2006, this medium-bodied, delicate Chianti offers refreshing acidity, which makes it an ideal wine for the table.

There’s an intense or pungent quality to this traditional expression of Chianti that translates into aromas of resin, licorice, cola and wild berries. The wine is bright and lively and fills the palate with delicate berry flavors.——M.L.(11/1/2009)—— 89
