About This Wine:
Red color steals intense and concentrated. Scents that recall balsamic confection of red fruits with thin spicy notes and accents of laurel and ginestra. It is elegant and vigorous in the mouth with fine, sweet tannins; body, alcohol and acidities are all obvious and in balance. The persistence is long, decided and resolute.
About The Winery:
For three generations, the Gori family has developed the family estate, now available for you to enjoy as well. Acquired in 1966, they first began to develop the acreage with vineyards and olive groves, not only producing wine, but bottling it themselves.
In the `90s, competition on Chianti wine begin to increase, and the family decided to close the bottling portion of the enterprise, and concentrate instead on the re-constuction of the vineyards to produce the highest quality wine possible.
With the advent of the third generation Gianni and Duccio Gori under the expert supervision of their father Alessandro, it became apparent that the demands to produce the quality and quantity of wine they intend, and then to make it available to as many comsumers as possible, they would need to expand. Therefore, they have incorporated the indispensable aid of the wine steward Dr. Fabrizio Moltard, and created two new wines: LUIA and CILESTRO.
To determine whether we have succeeded in our aims, we will await your personal judgment.
