| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Forget what you’ve ever thought about Chianti if all you know is the one that comes in basket bottles. The real deal is a whole different experience altogether. This one, a D.O.C.G., is entirely composed of Sangiovese, with nothing else blended in as has been historically traditional. Aromas of red cherries with spice notes shape the first impression; while on the palate spice, red fruits and black tea notes harmonize. Tannins are firm but not aggressive, and lend ample weight and structure to the wine, yet the mouthfeel is silky. The finish is remarkably long and keeps the tannins in perspective. Likely a good choice for cellaring at cool temperatures for long keeping. An all-purpose wine, this Chianti will pair well with a wide variety of foods. Extraordinary value--so good I triple-checked the price.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Robustly flavored chicken liver terrine; vegetable-topped pizza; black olives; sorpressata; bresaola with black pepper; sausage and peppers; muffaletta; meat-filled ravioli with tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese; roasted red meats; furred game.
