Chianti Classico


Name of Wine: Chianti Classico (DOCG)

Type of Wine: Everyday red for meals (90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot, 5% Canialo)

Vintage: N/A

Winery/Vineyard: Rocca delle Macie, Castellina in Chianti, Toscana, Italy

Description: Dry red table wine; flavor is subtle and does not overpower; not overly dry, but still dry

Comments: Part of our love is sentimental - we visited the winery on our trip to Italy. However, this is a solid Chianti Classico and a great accompaniment to red meat or pasta dishes. It complements without overpowering.
