2014 Villa di Campobello Chianti Riserva
#nb-16-18
We visited our favorite Italian Restaurant in Cape Coral, FL the other night, and of course had a fabulous dinner. We have enjoyed the cuisine at Moretti's for more than two decades now, and have never been disappointed. The food is so good that it makes an everyday bottle of Chianti taste wonderful!
The Campobello Chianti Riserva is a value priced wine that when paired with great food adapts to a higher standard. The wine is a pretty ruby red in color, with a nose that suggests cherries and berries. The flavors feature cherry and plum with a little spice, wrapped in a smooth texture for a subtle, yet complex presentation. The finish is smooth, with a bit of mellow, toasty tannin at the end. The alcohol content is 13%, and Norm's score is 88.
I can't praise Moretti's in Cape Coral enough, it has never been a disappointment. The food is simply the best, and the prices are far below average. I enjoyed my favorite, "Fettuccine Frutti de Mar", which is like Cioppino over fresh fettuccine. The Chardonnay Queen had "Spicy Mango Shrimp", and the wine was perfect for both of our dishes.
price : $11 - $16
score: 88
